Agreed on this - but any sufficiently wealthy house could be worth the
effort for professionals. So the risk increases with your net worth, I
would say.

And it would be easy to have them transmit, not constantly, but at
random intervals, and to store real frames for transmission and
retransmission in the random stream, thus making patterns in the
transmissions difficult/impossible to detect. You don't store anything
you weren't going to store anyway. It would use somewhat more bandwidth
and somewhat more battery, but would be way cheaper, more reliable and
indeed more random than a pet :-)
