I have read many press announcements over the years from main players, Google, Microsoft about the interconnected smart home, often trotted out at CES or Cebit, but they never seem to follow up with an infrastructure and actual products. Another problem has been that although WiFi may be a good infrastructure for some parts of a net,eg Controller, TV, Security Camera, for many others it was often considered too power-hungry and expensive to be embedded in each 'thing', and needed a bridge to a cheaper lower-powered network, maybe Bluetooth4 for things like temperature, vibration sensors.
