I understand adding all of the house's functions and locks to the web seems opposite of security, but I think the redundancy of monitoring and notification negate any potential security risks.
Does anyone have a robust system running yet? Also, do you feel this would add value to a home?

Yes, have Control4 integrated with Sonos, Lutron lighting, t-stats, garage doors, pool, alarm. We have Ring too but you wont be able to integrate it within the automation as the api is closed. Had Crestron before, big pain. Much prefer Control4. As to value, probably doesn't add much. Its either expected in the luxury market or novelty in mid range homes. May make the house sell quicker if anything.
