[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 422549, member: 9512"] Would this rely on allowing someone else's servers to get a route into your private network to enable it to work? i.e. is the WeMo system hosted on a "Belkin" server which then has a route into your private home network, so given the right circumstances someone could hack into the WeMo system, and then get access to your private network? So if your burglar alarm & door locks were WeMo then they could be turned off by a hacker for example? Then in 5 years they turn off the servers so all your kit doesn't work any more, just like NEST have done with the Revolv system? I don't like this idea unless the servers are @ my place. I don't trust the public cloud, & the IOT is very dangerous. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
