I like your list!!!
I use a PR511 floodlight (the dusk/dawn setting) to turn nightlights On/Off. Actually I use a timer to turn them On/Off too. So nightlights come On at dusk... Off at a 11:59... On at 5 AM Off at dawn. The nightlights are LED's in SocketRockets.... enough light... very low cost to run.
I use an "Eye" sensor in the kicthen near the coffee... on the wifes birthday. BVC sings to her.
I use WeatherAloud for my weather info.... but it's a bit wordy. I think
Tuicemen has a weather software (check here in third party software).
Turning on TV's and radios are easy with the IR. Having the computer ask.... is a great place for a confirmation macro. A conditional macro that runs for only a short period of time. Allowing a one word to act as the confirmation... I need to write more on that.
Thanks for the nice words about
S.A.R.A., I really do think this is the direction for HA to follow. We really have the writters at Eureka to thank.
Tuicemen is working on a program now (I am Beta testing it as I type) called
BlueWatch. It will (hopefully) detect the presence of your BlueTooth cellphone. Making OS really cheap and easy. I already have it turning off my alarm for me.
