The device looks cool, and sounds cool, but what data does google end up
with, and what remote management can they do? Their policy pages aren’t
exactly clear, and they’ve mishandled personal data a number of times
previously.


Probably wise to be keep the tinfoil hat within arm's reach, I think. My ref was strictly "yep, they appear to be making a play at the home controller market via a broadband router trojan horse" and not in any way an endorsement or comment on the merits of the device.
