The maker of the Roomba robotic vacuum, iRobot, wants to start selling mapped floor plans of customers’ homes to Google, Amazon and Apple, the company said Tuesday.
The privacy-invading plan will help other smart home devices operate more efficiently using movement data collected by the circular cleaning gadget, CEO Colin Angle told Reuters.
“There’s an entire ecosystem of things and services that the smart home can deliver once you have a rich map of the home that the user has allowed to be shared,” Angle said.
The home layout data will likely include info on the location of everything from lamps to home security cameras and thermostats, according to the firm.
Looks like another IoT failure!

I didn't even know Roombas could be connected to the internet.
Looks like it's time to free the software, again. Where's libreroomba?
