If yer too stupid to secure a Ferrari, except as a too-late
afterthought, you deserve whatever you get. *Hackers have been
compromising everything on the net, including govts and the most

I'd say the main purpose would be in case you're at
the airport and you don't remember if you closed the
garage door. Another use would be if while traveling
you find out you need to let a friend into the house for
some unexpected reason, But, I wouldn't say it's
high on my list of features.
