Smart Home Hubs: A Brain for Your House - WSJ.com

Living room for improvement -- check the link below for a product round-up

"Who hasn't dreamt of a house that can take orders? Austin Powers's bed rotates and plays bossa nova at his command. Wallace and Gromit, the animated Englishman and his dog, live in a house that can wake you, drop you into pants and spread jam on your toast—though it never quite works as designed. 
While I'm still looking for the perfect Internet-connected toaster, I feel a little like Wallace. My "smart" house has a Nest thermostat, app-controlled Philips Hue light bulbs, Dropcam streaming security camera, Sonos wireless speakers and a few other automated thingamabobs. Yet for all that, my devices don't know how to work together."
