You are sending pressure data. That's all. There is no hole. If your computer can be taken over by sending incorrect data, then it is the firmware flaw, encryption is not relevant here. |

A wise old friend of mine, once said "Look, once you've connected to the internet for the first time, ALL your privacy and anonymity has gone; if you believe otherwise, you're delusional, just forget about it and get on with it." Far too many "theories" and "debates" consume FAR too much time, all of which product nothing except paranoia and arguments. Life is WAY too short for that junk. "Any fool can speculate, most of them do". |

This firmware flaw needed to be fixed once it was discovered. |

Granted, it's not that helpful when lightly rear ending them would be far easier and just as effective. (I saw a post on Facebook warning about that a few years back.) |

Some do, now that "smart meters" are popular. --- End quote --- They don't need time of day information, they go by the overall consumption, often far higher than normal for a house of that size, it's the reason growers would often seek out houses with electric resistance heat to rent for their grow operations. I believe they also used thermal cameras looking for heat signatures that suggest a grow operation, such as specific rooms that are much warmer than the rest of the house. |
