I think the smoke detector is a safe bet for the Nest. Like the page says, the "connected home" is starting to be something we see emerging; the issue is, what needs to be 'connected'?
There aren't really a lot of areas that benefit from home automation, but a smoke detector is at least in the right ballpark. It will still be a few years before anyone tries to come out with a 'smart refrigerator/pantry' (the logistics are a nightmare alone).
Aside from lighting/smoke/AC, where else is there to go in home automation. The least touched market is home irrigation, but even has already started to be explored.
Like I said, the smoke detector is a good step in the right direction. Not a bold and wild innovation; a more simplistic approach as they tread forward.
