On the long drive home Monday, I had plenty of time to think. I happened to come up with a very interesting idea for an extension to the PhraseServer element of my media infrastructure.

The question I pose to you is: What kind of things would you want to do using the voice interface for a smarthome? Ask when the next bus is, set the thermostat, what? Specifically, I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of content it would be conveying, and what the range of structures of the generated phrases would be like.

The smart home for lonely people. Responds to sounds of crying, pain, and swearing, with meaningless comfort.

May need careful tuning to distinguish "Being murdered with a knife, call police" from "Really wild sex, disable webcams".
