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.

Lock/unlock/open doors. Change the temperature. Change the volume of the TV or music. And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, draw me a bath. I would love it if I could call home and say "Start a hot bath" and have it waiting for me when I got there.
