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.
