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.

no subject
"start teakettle" (would fill it with fresh water and start it, and then stop it when it boils.
"fill bath cool/warm/hot with bubbles"
"global radio" would turn on the various radios on the NPR station so that i can follow the stories as i'm getting ready in different parts of the apartment
"preheat car" would start the car with its defroster on
"precool car" would start the car with its air conditioner on
(and then, when i get home again)
"voicemail" would play it and transcribe any numbers
"set alarm"
"prewarm bed" would make the bed all toasty
"goodnight radio" would play the one by my bedside softly until i fell asleep
