I stay away from almost all home equipment that requires an internet connection or advertises that it can be controlled by mobile for this very reason. It's all going to fail sooner or later, and/or it sells out your privacy, and probably both. And you'd think I was being silly, or kidding, or just old. But the number of cases where this goes south is so large that it's the rule rather than the exception. I suspect the root cause is the slow walk adoption of IPv6. Everything needs to work over NAT, (and possibly over dynamic IP) which really limits your options.
