Smart Homes/Buildings
Amazon is supposedly starting a "secret" push into this area. LINK / I'll be interested to see if they can bring the price down, right now they're too expensive. I don't need a learning thermostat, just one I could change with an app on my phone would be good.

What are the road-blocks?
Consumer readiness is one. I was expecting the PS4/XBox One to become the hub of the smart house, but considering Sony focused on games and forced Microsoft to do the same and stop including the Kinect, it's not looking good for this generation. Maybe we'll be ready with the PS5 and XBox Two.

Security
Even though we've been using wireless locks in cars for many years, I'm still a bit leery of things like wireless front door locks. Same thing with hooking up my garage door to the Internet.
They are doing a lot of cool things with robotics right now. We may still be a good bit a way from Rosie the robot maid, but maybe we can get a lawn mowing roomba soon LINK /

I think you nailed it.
There is obviously some current need/utility in wireless connectivity to your thermostat, TV, security system/cameras, and lights. I think a lot of the other uses (wireless locks, appliances, etc.) are just seen as a novelty.

With 4096-bit encryption, using wifi locks, etc., are much more secure than actual keys. Just make sure you use a product that has encryption turned on by default.
