If anyone wants to build it, I would love a website where you could look up any device/program and see a profile of what data it sends out of your house, or what it brings in. Pair it with an open source app to collect the profiles and upload them to the website (somewhat ironically).

You know, that's a fantastic idea.
It's almost analagous to the "nutrition facts" that you get on food. A standard baseline so you can know what's going on.

Making the collected data machine readable so it could be sucked into snort/firewall rules/redirected etc might prove nice too.
Relatively few people run gateway devices with the ability to do what you're describing, but pcap is an open format and there are existing utilities for dumping (tcpdump/wireshark) and visualization (https://www.sans.org/security-resources/idfaq/visualize_data...).
