Well, in the state I live in, once you leave your house, outside of a few specific areas(like bathrooms and changing rooms), you have no right to privacy. Also, I live in a one party state so a person has the ability to record anyone else as long as they are part of the conversation or it is out in public. So, no, it shouldn't be up to the homeowner to disclose that as it is their home, it should be up to the guest to ask.
You already know my opinion on it.
If there is a chance I will be sleeping at, changing at, naked at someone's home... damned straight I'd want to have that kind of information disclosed. Any cams I find at any friend/family home I stay at I ensure is either off and/or pointed elsewhere in rooms where such may happen.
To me that falls under consent and feeling safe.

No.
People who are paranoid about these sorts of things need to just lock themselves in their homes and never go outside.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
Not that I'd have those kinds of devices, but if I won't put a muzzle on my dog or put my hamsters in a locked, air-tight room for guests, then I can't see myself disclosing every little thing otherwise.
I await the source where someone got sued because they visited a house that had an alexa in it, please give me a link that'd be hilarious. I'm betting thousands of people each day walk into a house unaware of an alexa or google home, so there should be tons of people being sued, link me some.
I'm aware people have tried to sue amazon over alexa issues, but im talking about someone suing someone else.
On Ferenginar guests have to sign legal waivers when they are in the homes of others.
Also if people are worried about smart devices then they should not be carrying smart phones. They can easily listen in on your every day life too.

It is your domain, you do not have to announce it if you do not wish to do so. I wouldn't announce it because I'm not that paranoid. I have my phones, and that is the only actual categorized smart devices I have.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
The problem with this is that nearly every modern device has the potential to be a smart device, which may or may not be something the home owner is even aware of. Is a Smart TV a smart device? Is a refrigerator a smart device? If you're aware of what these devices can do then you should be aware enough not to say or do anything around them when you spot one.
Wouldn't any "data" gathered just be linked back to the person who owns the device? Unless your guest is walking around with a smart-phone set to sync up with any device in the vicinity, or something...in which case they can't really care about their privacy that much.
No unless it is always on*
Imo, this is similar to any other 'social contract' type deal. Put it this way. How many times has someone walked up to you with a knife in their hands? Now how many times have they just randomly stuck it in you. None, here. My waiters deliver my knives to me without problem, if im at a guest's house i don't get shived there either, and so on.
But they could do it. They could easily do it. You could leave your house right now and go find a kid and kill them. But you don't. Why? Well, doesn't matter why, what matters is that the extreme, like, 99.999% of people, don't do these actions.
I trust that the typical person who has one of these devices, isn't having it record me for nefarious reasons, just as i trust that the waiter walking towards me with a fork, isn't going to jam it into the back of my neck as she walks around me.
*HOWEVER, a lot of these devices are permanently on. I find it really funny when people wonder how Cadbury's chocolate suddenly started appearing on their youtube ads a day after they mentioned it in the house. HOW DO YOU THINK IT KNOWS TO RESPOND WHEN YOU SAY ALEXA? Do you think it just is turned off until it hears the first syllable of 'Alexa'? No, it is always on, it is always listening. Listening and understanding.
IMO, no.
Instead people should assume that every modern home going forward has these devices.
This is the reality, give it another 10-20 years and you will have these devices in just about every home aside from some serious old timers or country bumpkins living in the middle of nowhere.
Heck, everyone has personal recording device listening in in their pocket, should we put a warning label on our foreheads or some such?
