Thanks Tom.

I upgraded the firmware, but could not find any reference to the HomeKit, so I thought I would ask the list.  And my suspicions were confirmed.

In other words I think it makes grabbing massive amounts of data that much tempting and eventually easier. At some point our current encryption could be breached or an unhappy data center worker may be in need of money. I don't own a cloud dependent device and believe that I might never own one. I also doubt that NSA can't currently access the Cloud wherever or whenever they wish.
