Am posting a link here, because most of the shields have a use in home automation:
http://shieldlist.org/
It has a search function, so you can quickly narrow the field to the shields of interest.
I wish there were a similar compendium showing all the arduino clones, and arduino variants (hybrids which are often like an arduino merged into the shield). Anyone know if such a thing exists? For instance, moteino doesn't show up in the shield list, because technically it's a hybrid rather than purely a shield. Nonetheless, for small size and/or low power, the hybrids can be more interesting, and they're programmed through the IDE the same as an arduino.
