Adding to your insightful commentary, I do NOT want anyone to access the programming I have setup on my devices because I do not want anyone with possibly malevolent intentions being able to guess when I am home/on vacation.
Huh? How would accessing the programming tell when you were on vacation? The program/configuration that controls your stuff is stored on the device itself, not stored/run in the cloud. The only information stored in the cloud is how your remote/system is configured, not its state. Once you configure the device, if you're exceedingly paranoid, you can always firewall it off from the outside world, and it will continue to work.
