New house - vital tech

[Kemik]

Hi guys,

I've placed a deposit on a house! Now everyone else has been asking me what tiles I want in my kitchen but I'm more interested in hearing what gadgets you think are vital for a new house.

For example, Nest is a "smart" thermostat but it is currently US only.

I already have a decent surround sound system, TV, washing machine, fridge-freezer and bed. I have to buy everything else...

Any other suggestions? (Not saying I'll be able to afford it after all of these fees, but it's a fun exercise anyway)

Thanks

I was thinking about this but then the only thing that would need plugging in directly to the router would be my HTPC and PS3. Everything else I own is wireless and reliable.
