No idea why you're being downvoted. This is absolutely valid commentary. Most IoT home devices are atrocious from both a security and a privacy perspective. There are fairly regular posts on HN about the shit-awful security of these devices. Just yesterday there was the post about the guy with the bad Amazon review.
Also, there's another problem I see with this crap, and I can see right where it's going to end up... It won't be long before the FBI gets some judge to declare that our homes are no longer private because our thermostats are connected to the internet. I am already infuriated at the things law enforcement claims in court. I can sense a migraine on the horizon when it comes to a home connected to the internet.
