Other info such as exactly when you leave and return home - very useful to thieves.
Just as well I leave everything turned on all the time and have a few big dogs then.
Seriously though, I agree with what you are saying. The data analysis will be based on typical patterns though as you could not say for certain (for example) that a household has children because the power usage goes up at 4pm. It could be a teacher that lives there or someone who does short days.
Same goes for the hairdryers, some men use them allegedly etc etc etc
[/quote]Yes to all of that there will be cases but will be the minority and I am sure that a teacher will have something to say to you about your comment that they get home at 4 :lol

Either way they will know when you get home and start drying your hair with one ov vidals finest. :lol
Companies behind the roll out hide behind phrases such as "allowing access to data on a more granular level". = meaning deeper spying.
An appliance will have its own power load signature that can identify what it is and by doing that it can be seen when it is being used and from that it can be worked out who is using it.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
