“Pollyannish to think that this won’t eventually be abused.”

What do you mean by abused?

I can imagine, but wonder what you mean.

All tech is abused one way or another, we all know that.

I’d say for every incidence of abuse, a million-fold will have benefited from the data will have provided info for better and better products down the line that help our lives and the economy.

If you want an online entity to know the layout and contents of your house given the widespread incidence of hacking and data breach then have at it. But, I'm not particularly enthralled at the idea, myself. Tell me, does the notion that your vacuum cleaner, your vacuum cleaner, is gathering data on you and reporting it to a central database for future monetization not disturb you at all? How many potential uses of this data can you envision that would not exactly be appealing? You can bet your taxing authority would be interested if cheap enough and it will be. What if a sort of casing database pops up on the dark web targeting apparently well-off households, not just contents but providing a convenient map? Does that sound implausible to you? Where there's money to be made there's a will to do it, and where there's a will there's a way.
