This is why Nest didn't start, like many, with internet controlled colored light bulbs. It's a very lazy product with a small market (namely, people so bored with their life, they want internet controlled colored lightbulbs).
You gotta admit thermostats have a purpose for being connected though. It's nice to have your thermostat know you're coming home or going away, and adjust things accordingly.
Also doors with locks of all kinds. It's very interesting to have your key be your smartphone.
It's also very interesting for thiefs to unlock said doors without physically breaking in, causing noise and so on.
Which means you can sell internet connected home alarms.
When all is said and done, we'll be all "internet of things". Things that do stuff, and things that protect us from the side effects of the first things. The possibilities are endless.
