It's the small things.
1. My hallway lights come up at the correct intensity and light temp for the day every time there is motion. They also turn off at different speeds depending on the time of day. (at night, min brightness, yellow light, turn off after 30 seconds - someone is just waddling to the bathroom. in the day, full brightness, 6500K light, turn off after 5 mins)
2. I can control my AC remotely with my phone and it automatically manages itself depending on the price of the electricity (I'm on a hourly market-rate plan). If the price is low, it'll over-cool my house at night and cost for the morning.
3. Voice-controlled profiles for complex setups. Gaming = pull down the curtain on the window that shines on the TV, turn off a few lights that glare on it. Movies = all curtains down, all lights off. Even the one from the bedroom, because it shines to the couch in full darkness.
4. Smart switches that turn off lights that don't have a direct electrical connection.
5. A switch beside the door that turns off all lights and a few appliances in the kitchen that have no business being powered when I'm not at home.
