Highly recommend checking out "Hack All The Things - 20 Devices in 45 Minutes" by CJ Heres & Amir Etemadieh & Mike Baker & Hans Nielsen. https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2022/DEF%20CON%2022%20vid...
This is the GTVhacker group that hacked the GoogleTV.
"Weaponizing Your Pets" with Gene Bransfield is definitely also worth checking out. "The War Kitteh and Denial of Service Dog."
