We should probably split hairs here. I would love for all of my appliances to be networked -- just not on the public internet.

- Preheat the oven as I'm driving home

- Alert me when my laundry/dishes are done

- Alert me if my air filter needs replaced.

- Manage my AC/Heating for maximum energy efficiency.

- Real time energy usage monitoring.

- Turn on/off lights when I arrive/leave.
