With GTalk available in Gmail and on my cell phone this proves to be quite useful. Interesting extensions could use speech recognition on a cell phone to interact with an automated house.

GTalk fun
Someone asked me a couple months ago if it would be possible to send commands to the thermostat via email. The difficulty with that is authenticating users. Because the semester is now over and I have some weekend spare time, I decided to implement a toy with Google Talk.
The screenshot bellow shows a "conversation" with my home thermostat.
