I want to want more home automation, but I think most of the ideas are worthless to me.
MY wifi thermostat is awesome though. Highly recommend one especially for the lazy. I'd like a smart washer/dryer that notify me when stuff is done. I'm constantly forgetting about laundry. However, I never forget my keys or to lock doors, so smart locks are stupid.
Smart sensors are a fine idea to replace older dumb alarm systems, monitor leaking/flooding, tell you if your house is on fire, or if your dog or baby escaped, etc. Smart cameras too.
Smart outlets.. well. They're 5-10x as expensive as an ordinary outlet timer, so I have trouble seeing the benefit.
Smart lights.. again, what's the benefit over a $4 timer? oh they change coooooolors. ooooo.
Smart fridge.. uhg. I'm always out of everything and I don't need you reminding me.
