Prompt for the operator's assistant
Track Ring, Nest, Wyze, Arlo, Eufy, Blink, SimpliSafe, ADT, Ecobee, Honeywell Home, August, Yale, Schlage, Philips Hue, Samsung SmartThings, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, Sonos and Roku. Report only confirmed, source-backed changes from the last 7 days: subscription price increases or new tiers; features moved to paid plans; end-of-support, shutdown or bricking dates; privacy policy or data-sharing changes including police and AI training access; security vulnerabilities with fixes available; outages over four hours; recalls; and class-action settlements with claims. Prefer manufacturer notices, help pages, CISA advisories, FTC actions and established tech reporting; ignore rumors and affiliate roundups. Put the brand first in the title and state the date and the choice a customer has. Use high severity for bricking, a feed-exposure flaw, or a price increase over 25 percent. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

Why this matters
A doorbell that stops recording unless you pay $10 more a month, a hub that bricks on a date, or a camera flaw that exposes the feed is announced in an email people delete. One early notice protects the home and the wallet.
Who this is for
- Any household with a connected camera, lock, thermostat or speaker, which is most of them.
