I think we should assume that they can and will communicate with
each other, but that there should be ways to block access from one
to another if the user wants to do this (and understand what he
is doing).

I think these are cases were a connection is useful: the fridge sends
data on what is in stock to your PC, you fill out your online grocery
list.  When you switch on the TV, you also dim the lights for better
visibility.  And maybe somebody will finally build my favorite
non-existing gadget: a remote control app for my smartphone, so
that I can control TV, stereo, DVD, lights, phone, and whatever else
with one device, rather than have 6 remote controls next to me.
