I think home automation is a good thing because that will deter burglaries, maybe do away with them entirely.
Want to monitor you daughter? Or worriy she’ll be molested by intruder? Get an alarm when a window opens or when her bedroom light comes on at night. Haha… so many things for the paranoid.
I would like a device to record the MAC address of people who walk by my house then gives me a report on how often and when.
I don’t want to totally deter property crime — it keeps the rich and powerful honest.
Home invasions are extremely rare, so rare as to be a non-issue.
Recording MAC addresses — no thanks, no plans to be a stalker 🙂
