Description
Welcome to WikiProject Connected Home! The purpose of this project is to create new articles and expand existing articles about the connected home. The connected home market is expected to be a 7 billion dollar market by 2020. As such, many people will want to learn about what it is and what products work right for them.

Discussion
Why not just include this in the existing home living article? It is difficult to set up a WikiProject and takes a lot of attention. Having something this nuanced makes it difficult to recruit enough people to participate. Instead of starting from nothing and trying to build a WikiProject, why not start with WikiProject Home Living then spin out when you have ~5 people participating in this subtopic?
