Ditto. Until I can set the endpoint this thing talks to[1], It ain't living on my LAN.[2] [1] This, of course, implies an open source server I can host as well. [2] Maybe it is just me, but I choose to leave my phone at home fairly often. It is a bit of a luxury for me, and I find I enjoy the feeling when I'm not contactable. Things like this are closer to furniture, and don't take an affirmative "opt-in" (like taking your phone with you) to be functional in their role. So when my brother's kids come over, I'm opting them in. When a visitor is wondering around half-awake looking for the coffee, I'm opting them in. I realize some others seem to feel that this is identical to cell phone surveillance (but if so, and if you always have your phone, why bother with this?). I don't, and I'm not alone. The law recognizes major distinctions between 'home' and 'not-home'; I mention this only as a demonstration that the distinction is a clearly rooted one for a lot of people.
