No, but it's not just those. Anything that can be remotely updated 
automatically (sometimes whether you want it to be, or not), or which 
can be talked to via a smartphone, will usually work by phoning home, 
and have the potential to be accessed by hackers who break into the 
systems that the device phones home to.

Indeed smartphones themselves are a vulnerability if they access your 
internal WiFi.
