Someone can connect to a password protected home wifi network pretty easily. Once they've done that, they have everything that's on that network. Chrysler learned that when people were hacking cars that had wifi and taking control of them.

If you're going to automate your home like that, you need better than 'basic' network security.

No one is going to sit in your driveway and "hack" into your network instead of just breaking in

First of all

Second of all, home automation is the absolute least of my worries if I thought hackers were invading my home network in my driveway.

Third of all, criminals can always just break a window or a lock or a door or whatever. Home automation doesn't make it any easier or harder to break into your house than it already is.
