Hi, very good video. But, having a lot of smartplugs at home I find this technology a lot more intrusive. Someone could use this technology to track your activity at home. I know that in the US a lot of people would love it, but over here in France, a system that could locate you at home would look very suspicious, even for the autorities (I think).

My problem is that Elgato products don't support push technology...I can't even have a dorr/windows-switch TELL me when it is trigered abd send me a message...
Same with their weather station. I can ask it how it's doing - but I can't have it trigger when it's freezing outside....
