Yes, with an emphasis on privacy. I installed a google nest thermostat a few years ago, then ripped it off the wall and threw it in the trash when I learned how it could be used to monitor my family. Same with amazon and alexa. Did you ever think it’s cool that you can talk into your remote control to your tv to search for things? How cool do you think it is for mega data scrapers to be listening to everything you say in the privacy of your own home to “sell you stuff”, which in reality isn’t that much of an issue. But if you are a conspiracy theorist like me, the implications of the big brother scenario gets way darker than selling you stuff. End rant, yes please cover home automation with privacy in mind.
I have no clue what that means…but ok!!

I’m not sure either because I think I responded to that post before you deleted what ever you deleted, so again 
….but maybe that as long as physically I function day to day without help, I do not need nor want alexa’s or google’s or any other voice activated services

I turned my mic off on my devices. I tried it once but every time a conversation was going on the mic would pic it up and stuff would be starting and doing god knows what.

I’m with cgrady. Dumped all my Alexa devices and turned of mics. I know they can still listen in so I’m careful.
