This was the same conclusion I came to when researching the topic a year ago. The closest we got was two Ecobee thermostats, a Big Ass Fan with SenseME and a herd of Lutron Maestro switches (not true automation, but press/hold for 2 seconds for delayed turn off is nice).

Too many standards and cost is still way up there.
