Reply to comment by BIT-NETRaptor in Appliance makers sad that 50% of customers won’t connect smart appliances by HushedShadow

Terms and conditions can change. I trust my governor and his confederates about as far as he can kick a ball.

I mean in the sense that your state government has no ability to do so unless you connect your google/Honeywell/whatever account to their service. It’s not the smart appliance company turning your dial down, it’s your state government being essentially added as an authorized user to your smart appliance. Adding such access is an extra step you are under no obligation to take.

I totally understand not trusting your state government :)
