This has been done...plus, you'd have to have buy-in from the vendors of all of these products. Others don't even have an existing interface (oven, thermostat) unless you've specifically purchased some that do.
Great idea, but the cost to upgrade your house to the level you have mentioned would be greater than the benefits at this point. Good idea for the future tough.

If you pay the premium, you can get this today.
By the way, the premium is mostly paid in installation and configuration labor, usually of the hobbyist doing the installs for themselves. The parts aren't exactly cheap (or reliable) either when compared to standard manual switches, thermostats, etc.
i like it but its been out for a long tiime
It is done and there is a nice exhibit if you ever visit Epcot on the existing technology all meshed into one.
