Exactly. This is what is bothering me so much about the current trends in this space. These products have great marketing and design, and often have better ideas than the products that came before them. But they don't work together, which minimizes what we're able to do with a whole-home system.

There have been some efforts to get these things to work together, but it's mostly through hacks or IFTTT. I love IFTTT, but it's too slow and limited.
