  • if the sun has set and my partner isn't home from work (phone not connected to WiFi), turn the hallway light on
  • close the blinds when the sun sets, but only if the TV isn't currently on so as not to make noise during a TV programme
  • when I turn the bedroom lamp on, turn the bedroom ceiling light off
  • if my front door opens when neither me nor my partner are home, send a snapshot of the doorbell camera to my notifications

Well they'll do whatever is most cost effective, if the fee makes it no longer cost effective then they'll stop. If it doesn't, then the EU at least has extra funds to work on it

If they make it bad enough nobody will play it and it'll save them the embarrassment
