Seems like a good idea, but... My concern is making that little house (let alone all of our houses) WiFi'd, wireless (that includes the dangers of EMFs), and connected to the prying eyes of the internet (Internet of Things and so on). The technology that's automatically assumed to go along with it... I'm not so sure putting someone's daily blood pressure results, heart rate, and so forth essentially onto the internet is such a great idea... allowing for, uh, 'special interest groups' to hack into (eg. same people making the technology/devices perhaps?). Many people are already recording their 'vital statistics' and communicating that info into their laptops, computers, cell phones etc. Imagine the heyday for interested 'third parties' like insurance companies...
When is anything ever REALLY for our benefit?
