Are people going for this? Absolutely. Vivint hasn't made it out to my market, yet, but it's only a matter of time. They use the 2GIG security panels and I for one think they're great, for what they are. They bring home automation to a customer who isn't even on Crestron's radar. Their thermostats are (retail-wise) $250, their light switches can be had on Amazon for ~$50, their cameras are ~$200.
Vivint is making an ABSOLUTE MINT with this stuff. A poorly-trained monkey could install it, it's really that easy. Imagine just 1,000 account at $60 a month. I'll let you do the math.

This is the first I've seen of it, but it looks like a pretty terrible deal.
Their basic energy management package gives you a smart thermostat, 12 light bulbs, and a switch for an appliance for $60/month. You could buy all that outright in a few months.
If people are going for this, I'm in the wrong market.
