Watch out for autoconfig of microphones and cameras. :-) I call it bonding. Some ritual has to be performed before specific types of devices trust each other. Like the garage door opener and the clicker thingie. Same should be true of the audio system and the wireless speakers. The TV and remote use IR. The routers just route, but they need to be a bit more picky about who can configure them.
