My biggest issue with this is that Google wants to inject a piece of hardware into my home that acts as the gateway to my data. A device through which all :<p>> Incoming data runs through<p>> Internal data runs through<p>> Outgoing data runs through<p>And then wants to be vague about what data they will be pumping to their back-end for analytics/data mining.<p>I have had a long standing proposal for home automation and I'm curious to know, in this era of insecurity and people vacuuming up all your data, how many of the tech minded people here would be interested in a device which ensures your 'home automation' data stays in your home. This can be quite clearly achieved in hardware and by having an out-of-band oversight controller that literally will not allow certain data to exit the physical domain of your home...<p>Cloud nonsense? It's called an application and a home automation application doesn't need to run in someone's cloud...<p>Whose interested? I think it's about time this cloud foolishness for the sake of monetizing someone else's data in an insecure manner come to an end. Everyone loves to rant about 'disruption'... I feel its about time this data monetization cloud bananza be disrupted.
