Not only that but it's used for "occupancy detection" to detect crowd sizes.
I once stayed at an AirBnB with some friends and the power went out in the evening one day of the trip. The next door neighbor also lost power, and came over to check on us - and didn't even step in the house. The next morning I got a nasty email from the host accusing me of abusing the occupancy limit. Clearly there were some hidden cameras or something in the house.
As silly as this example is, its just another annoying example of how technology is abused to monitor compliance with what should be a social issue.
