Is Homely safe?
Homely can fetch your eBay cart page over cleartext HTTP for its optional basket widget.
When the eBay basket widget is enabled and granted permission, Homely requests the user's eBay cart page over cleartext HTTP and parses the returned page for basket summary text. Its weather widget also sends the configured location to OpenWeatherMap in a cleartext HTTP query when weather display is enabled.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Homely contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
