Why do analytics show Home automation keys and key chain entries without my knowledge?

my analytics show

Matter / home kit keys have been created in 24

two key chain entries

chipplugin.nodeopcerts.CA

CHIPPlugin.system commissioner.nodeopcertsCA

i never created these

they are marked inv.1 , synced silently and use com.apple.hap.pairing-the Apple home kit accessories group ! They allow smart home pairing or control over connected devices

i don’t have home. I don’t have connected devices I seem to have acquired a SEED developer acc I’m not a developer and my account has always had FORTICLIENT and analytics show Companion link is also active

Nope! It is simply a case of not understanding what you are seeing, so the mind fills in the blanks to try and come up with some reason. You will find AI tools that do the same thing. Unfortunately Apple does not offer a class in reading analytics or publish their tools that they use in house, so that just leaves people to guess.. The only purpose for them is when an Engineer from Apple requests them after opening a Support Ticket with Apple Support. You can also choose to share them automatically with Apple to aid in future OS improvements.

You are not alone, there are many posts here where a user references analytics and it says "Roots:1", "Stingray", "Hidden" or "Remote access" and think that their device is being controlled remotely or other nefarious activities.
