Greetings everyone! I’ve recently come across an interesting issue with my SleepNumber bed and wanted to share my experience in case others might find it useful or have insights to offer.
So, here’s the situation: My SleepNumber bed was automatically discovered by Home Assistant, which is pretty cool. However, I noticed something unusual on my router. It flagged an ‘SSH session in progress on Unusual Port’ at destination port 6022. This caught my attention because I’m in the process of securing my network after a recent security incident with my Synology NAS.
My question is: Does SleepNumber utilize OpenSSH? If so, is this activity normal, or could it be indicative of something more concerning? I’m trying to understand if this is just SleepNumber communicating with its backend services or if it might be something I should be worried about.
I’ve done a bit of research and found that port 6022 isn’t the standard SSH port, which is usually 22. This makes me wonder if this is a custom setup by SleepNumber or if it’s something else entirely. I’m also curious if others in the community have encountered similar behavior with their SleepNumber devices.
To address this, I’ve temporarily blocked this port on my router, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the best approach. I don’t want to interfere with the functionality of my SleepNumber bed, which I really value for tracking my sleep patterns.
I’m reaching out to the community to see if anyone has insights or recommendations. Is this a common occurrence with SleepNumber devices? Should I be concerned about potential security risks, or is this just a standard part of how SleepNumber operates?
Any advice or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. Let’s keep the conversation positive and focused on finding solutions together. Thank you all in advance for your help!
