I don't think there are many surprises - the ceiling light has been mentioned before in conjunction with the LED strips. The lock looks interesting - I still can't decide if I can be bothered with a smart lock.

I wouldn't mind a lock that just told me if it was locked or not

And a cooker that told you it was off.

And any number of little niggles that make you turn around and go back when you are half-way down the road.
