Movement? That isn't the problem. Cost and interoperability are the problem.
On the cost side of IoT, the rent is just too damn high: I don't want to pay $50 for a fancy light bulb. I want to pay _maybe_ an extra 50 cents or $1 extra per bulb.
On the interoperability side: Most of the things I really care about are plugged into my home's electrical sockets. I'd love to see a new single standard "smart" plug that wires my devices into my home network when I plug it in. I can plug "dumb" devices into it and at a minimum turn if on/off. If I can do that, all my lamps work. For "smart" devices, they would push/pull data via TCP/IP.
