Aside from someone actually coming into your house and interfacing directly

If any state entity is in your threat model then this would be major concern. If you're of any interest to the state, first thing they'll do is raid your home and seize your electronics. Your threat model shouldn't depend on assuming an attacker can't physically access your device (I know you never said an air gap should be the only defence, I'm just saying in general).
