How about an affordable bidirectional version of X10 home automation devices with mechanical feedback.
I would love to be able to buy a wall switch for $15 to $30, that I could remotely turn on and off, and it would physically move to the on or off position. Additionally, I would be able to query the state of the device and determine if it was on or off.
I want a whole network of devices like these, similair to the X10 product lines.
