I want an API for my living space. Temperature, how much power my devices consume, light levels, etc. Correlate this with my utility bills for power, gas, water, and the like.

Everything can have a microprocessor in it now. What's taking so long?

the closest air interface/protocol with a large enough install base is probably Bluetooth Low Energy. unfortunately, a lot of consumer devices don't expose many profiles or other low-level functionality, so if you want to do something off the beaten path (even within the standard), it may not be possible unless you build your own device.

How about a nice http shim over x10?
