Google thermostat releated fun1...
Possibly you are inviting THE MAN into your home by buying his connected devices, but most likely THE MAN is already in. I make massive use of the google, I use the email and the calendar, and I even integrated google calendar into my home automation. I also started logging some of my activity to drive.google.com - home automation activity, not "at 4pm I had a poo" type activity. Not yet anyway. I'm in quite deep, but I'd imagine so many people are in at least this deep with various other internet giants. I don't report my every movement on foursquare or facebook at least.
I am hoping I can get the benefits of a connected home system without having to hand over all of my data by using something like heatmiser.com2. We'll see.
