What the fuck does a WiFi Access Point need a cloud connection and an account for? Other than spying on me?

Well, it was possible without this a few firmware updates ago.

I did some more research: The device has the exact same hardware as the 3x more expensive one you actually own, just other firmware.

I needed a to make a copy of my front-door key, so I tried one of the automated key-copiers. After copying my key, it said that it needed my address to ship the new key to.

I was livid. I just gave you a copy of my key, and now you want my address? It was basically Break-Into-Your-Home-as-a-Service

It has to ship a key? I've only ever used ones where you put in a blank key and it cuts it.

That's what I thought it was, but the machine said they had to ship it.
