thermostat, "what's the weather like?" (now / rest of today / whatever I might find relevant -- like warnings, or "oh, and by the way, Mount St Helens erupted while you were sleeping. Thought you might like to know." that could be expanded to any supermajor news, but I am not sure how to differentiate between major news and supermajor news.)
I don't think I'd use voice for lights very often. Or, even, security (locks), if I had some better way of doing it. (handprint? I know biometrics are iffy, but I'd give it a try.)
Traffic reports. Bus routing. Voicemail/e-mail (for the latter, a "(x) e-mailed you" is probably quite sufficient). Set/activate/deactivate timers & alarms, e.g., "wake me up in two hours", "remind me to go to (blah blah) tomorrow".
Only in future revisions would I ever dream of being able to say "make me a cup of tea and some eggs". Although when I think about it, those aren't incredibly complex tasks. Perhaps we should work on a kitchenbot.
