damn, this changes a lot. I was scared of Amazon Echo (or any other retailer's product) listening to me 24/7, but I guess it can't be avoided

Why would you be scared? The keyword(s) is processed locally, and it only sends the request following the keyword over the wire. If they tried anything fishy, such as sending everything it hears over the wire, then they would be outed within a day.

It also makes a sound (tho not by default) and lights up whenever it's listening.
