Yeah good for you, but that's hardly the point now is it? There is nothing wrong with automating stuff like this and expecting it to work without bullshit like the post happening.
The point is it's stupid and people who want to automate 10 minutes out of their day are equally stupid

As a layman, can someone explain what the ramifications of smart devices sharing your data is. I know it’s bad, but I don’t understand why it’s bad and how it’s used against you.
One aspect to consider is exactly what data these devices are exfiltrating from your network. You usually can't see the contents of the telemetry sent, but given that a LOT of smart devices have cameras and/or microphones, do you really trust that your IoT devices are not sending back audio and or video recordings of the inside of your house?
Email me the blueprints to your house, your address, name, and your favorite hobbies and I will tell you the answer.

And just like that, my $300 smart vacuum transformed into a mere paperweight.
