Pet being left alone?  Indoor cameras will let you know exactly what they are up to whilst ou are out.

Your home hub can make your entire home a walk-through experience.  The same music in every room as you move about?  Mood lighting that you can turn up or down by voice command.  Want to listen to the radio instead?  Change the channel on the television?  All ofthese things can be controlled by voice command without having to move around your home at all.
