This is exactly why I don't trust cloud-connected home automation! What if someone else gains access to your "away" status and knows your house is empty? You should check if that service has had any breaches since 2019. WARNINGS: disable location tracking entirely, audit all connected devices, and consider running your own local automation server with proper firewall rules. fail2ban for your smart home, anyone?
