Imagine if it locked an elder or child in there, or animals requiring care. Also, if food were on the stove and the house caught fire who's at fault here, the API?

edit: I read the article

According to the story, it is not describing literal locked doors—he appears to have been able to get in and out—just unresponsive devices.

You clearly didn't read the article.

>This incident left me with a house full of unresponsive devices, a silent Alexa, and a lot of questions."

I did read the article. But I took it to mean the smart device associated with getting into the house was disabled too.

The article was not to clear on whether he could get in to his house or not.

If he couldn’t then how would he know the devices in it are unresponsive?
