@Linux_Is_Best Based on the sampling frequency, your smart meter can go from revealing when you’re home or not to what you’re watching on television and what kind and brand of appliance you’re using (via fingerprinting). Law enforcement, insurance companies, advertisers, etc., would love such information. (Not to mention folks who carry out MITM attacks.) So, yeah, I’d say less tin-foil hat and more valuable data that can (and if not strictly regulated) will be used against you.
