The energy costs for indoor climate / light regulation can quickly become outrageous compared to super market veggie prices. Therefore, I think this type of tech is for rare exotic plant, maybe historical even.
Imagine buying a piece of tech for growing historical coffee plants in your basement where you set the climate control to Kenia or Hawaii (buy the soil addon?) and which guarantees (as in `likely it will yield') you 2kg of your own personal coffee harvest per plant. This stuff has urban hipster $$$ written all over it.
If you could control climate and soil to that degree, I can think of a certain plant that you could grow that will yield much more profit than a coffee plant: http://botanycentral.providence.wikispaces.net/file/view/coc...
Also, I seem to have a pest problem as well, I think rabbits, as all the leaves on my bean stalks have seemingly been chewed off.
Broccoli leaves get decimated by caterpillars if they aren't protected from moths laying eggs on them. Same happens to cabbages, bok choy, etc. A fine net with 10mm gaps works fairly well. I use petal poles and arches of pipe to make a removable frame.

For slugs/snails, I use pellets but apparently you can use copper tape if you have raised garden beds.
If I don't dust tomatoes or cover broccoli/etc I will lose almost everything.
Something that skimmed/raked the surface lightly at regular intervals between rows to frustrate slugs and disrupt weeds would probably help me, but not sure how it could reliably account for varying plant types, sagging leaves, wayward tomato vines, etc.
