Another use I thought of, once it's thoroughly proven it could be used as criminal evidence. "You claimed to be home sleeping by yourself but your signal data shows someone left your room at 1:00AM and returned at 3, just when the crime occurred." They can track you with your phone already but the trick of just not having a phone on you wouldn't work. Wired life wins.
The post on .world links to one of comcast’s pages about it where they explicitly say
“Comcast may disclose information generated by your WiFi Motion to third parties without further notice to you in connection with any law enforcement investigation or proceeding, any dispute to which Comcast is a party, or pursuant to a court order or subpoena.”
So yeah, absolutely could be used against you
