iDevices Smart Home Essentials Kit bundles tech support, HomeKit hardware
As long as prices stay in that kind of range, I don't suspect they'll get a lot of takers. Hopefully, opening up the Homekit market more widely will get a bigger pile of competitors and drive the cost down. iPhone control would be nice, but my house is filled with far too many economical X-10 wall switches and plug controllers that a refit would be a pretty substantial investment. And even my antique buggy whip Radio Shack X-10 timer/controller still works like a champ. Plus, my Honeywell alarm system interfaces with them. Maybe folks who start from scratch will be more willing to ease into it, but even dedicated Mac boys like me have a threshold.
