 		 #167096 - Why should it be excluded ?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Presumably because there'll be nobody there to notice if something goes wrong?

eg, if you plug an electric fire into a remote controller then, while it's off, move it too close to something heat-sensitive - forgetting that it's on a remote controller...

Also, if it's internet connected, there's the risk that some "unauthorised" person might start controlling your stuff - whether accidentally or maliciously...

Well, I imagine that's the kind of way that insurance people think...

But they might not be so paranoid in India...
