I have spoken to some of my relatives about this. They asked whether I thought it was a good idea, and I asked them how many times their passwords have been compromised from other sites on the internet. Most responded with >1. I then asked them about what value those credentials represented. Most thought the answer was very little. I asked what value criminals could derive from knowing if you were home, and knowing what you did in your house.

In then end, that line of questioning shuts down most desire to have this stuff.

OTOH, I know that in non-residence settings - think construction sites, etc, these can be good to have. I think you have to approach it from a risk/rewards standpoint as well as expectations vs guarantees of privacy.
