LG acquires Athom

Until now, the community has trusted Athom, but this trust was completely destroyed yesterday, because LG is generally not a company that thinks much of data protection see Press Release.

However, everyone is free to decide how he/she should or can deal with the situation. For me, I have made a decision with a heavy heart, I will migrate my HP2023 to HA and then sell it.

To ensure the support of my existing apps, I will get my HP2016 out of the museum, because the app users are innocent of the current situation and my decision. But what I certainly won’t do is implement any of the planned 3 to 4 apps, because it’s too much time and effort for me just so that LG-Homey can spy on us and make money with our data.

PS: My motto is: “My home is my castle” and it stays that way…
