This article is pretty ridiculous. By and large the criminals breaking into your home are too dumb for any hack. The bust a window and grab everything they can in a couple of minutes than make a break for it. The more advanced ones will find a house they know will be empty all day with no security and take more time.
If you are rich enough to have a criminal this advanced. Dedicate this much time breaking in. You are likely in a multi-million dollar mansion. With a very high tec security system not vulnerable to this attack. You're house is also likely in a very exclusive neighborhood with gardeners, maids, &c coming in an out all the time.
