But I want my house to listen and sense me.  The advantages far outweigh worries. Besides what makes Big Brother isn&#x27;t the existence of surveillance it is the lack of control over it, who uses it, and how. So fight for open source, transparency, end of advertising&#x2F;marketing. Not against technology.<p>I want my house to know what room I&#x27;m in (for lights, environment, music following, to adjust temperture when I&#x27;m active or too hot, to answer alexa like queries, to announce alarms reminders, to tell me the kitchen is hot and smokey cause I forgot beans on stove, to give me alert someone pulled into my drive, stopped in front of my house, to call 911 if my heart stops.
