The problem child of a family has to save his and his parents life when a hacker is keeping them hostage in their own house by using the smart home devices as weapons in order to let them die of thirst.

The dramatic solution is easy and low tech: break a window.

I don't see an insurmountable dramatic problem here.

An interesting premise, but I find the logic a bit hard to accept.

Why MUST this kid save them? What happened to the other members of the family that only he can save them all?

Secondly, as a former problem child myself, I know that that description could very easily be misinterpreted as the family simply not understanding him instead of it being a genuine character flaw. What if he were selfish or spoilt instead? This way he would have to change before he would be able to help the family.
