With the evolving home automation options being built out quickly I would love to see a way to integrate with XBMC via information overlays. The first home automation system that I think could be useful (and is self serving since I have the whole house already under surveillance) is Dropcam [now owned by google]. It would be great to get an overlay to appear with the action feed when motion is detected just like how the push notifications work to your phone.

There are third party boxes that do this with IP cameras but having something baked into Kodi/XBMC would be excellent since HTPC's already have all the hardware necessary.

I think there are of course other great options that could be used in an information overlay such as Nest's thermostat changes, automatic lighting triggers etc. All this could be done using the popular Mi Casa Verde integration using username and password.
