I can't think of anyone that's done WiFi - I think you're probably
more likely to find Zigbee home automation.  At least there are pages
from the Zigbee Alliance to that effect
http://www.zigbee.org/Standards/ZigBeeHomeAutomation/Overview.aspx

There is a list of Zigbee approved devices here:
http://www.zigbee.org/Products/CertifiedProducts/ZigBeeHomeAutomation.aspx

Zigbee has built in mesh networking which would make the thing more
resilient than a WiFi network would be (ignoring WiFi meshes which is
a good thing to do).
