20 years from now it will be a bunch of non working units scattered through the house that will be looked at laughingly by people looking to buy the house.

I remember a sci-fi story about a house on Mars outfitted with an all capable cyber system, and what it did (robotically keeping up for weeks as though occupied till the house burned down) when the house was abandoned in a nuclear war. Ray Bradbury, “The Martian Chronicles.”
