In present, the field of Internet of Things (IoT) is experiencing significant development, as evidenced by the everincreasing number of connected devices equipped with various sensors and controllers. These devices have become an integral part of smart homes, offering numerous benefits. Paradoxically, their growing popularity also brings an increased risk of vulnerabilities that threaten the security and privacy of users. This paper focuses on analysing common IoT devices used in smart homes to identify weaknesses and propose measures for improving their protection. This will involve evaluating security tests and providing recommendations for securing the devices and safeguarding their users. The proposed solutions and recommendations will assist users in better understanding potential threats and protecting their devices from unauthorized access and the leakage of sensitive information. This research approach contributes to enhancing the security and privacy of IoT device users in smart homes.
