What is a smart house

I don't think a house full of internet connected ("smart"?) Devices is enough for a house to be called smart, especially if you have to use lots of different apps on your iPad to control it.
I expect better from wired. Or at least would have a few years ago.

Interesting product though. If it worked might almost get past Management and approved for our house more then a big wall mounted tablet would.
