My favorite scifi AI trope is the smart home that locks itself down into a fortress in response to an unexpected threat scenario and then the *good* guys have to figure out how to get past defenses and talk it back down to not locked down. Much more interesting than terminator.

Rick does the fortress retrofit to the family home in Rick and Morty but I don’t think they’ve done the rogue lockdown plot yet. The smart house in Eureka does that in one episode.

I like your plot, may be it's good AI trying to get pass simplistic home automation which miscalculated the threat vector: the call was coming from inside the house.
