Thank you Karen! Hubby is a coffee nut and he likes your coffeepot idea especially.

The funny thing is, I don't even drink coffee, but growing up with a Swedish dad, know its importance very, very, very well. And to this day, the smell of coffee brewing smells of home to me!

Oh, and a display of the outside temperature (maybe inside/outside) might be handy - I would add "weather forecast," but where you are, I have a feeling that's not as vital as it is say, around here, where the need for an umbrella or a heavy sweater is important if the weather is going to change drastically in a few hours, or ever the course of your workday!

Snakemama, we had a storm come through today and I thought of this topic! I just went from room to room and reset the clocks that were blinking because the power went out ... my alarm clock in the bedroom, the one on the hall table, the one on the microwave, my kitchen clock, the one in the living room ... and reprogrammed my cordless phone, which is a nuisance because the date and day go out along with the time. I'd love my smart house to pick up on when the power has gone out and reset them all when it comes back.

Oooh, we don't lose power here often, but what an absolute pain when we do! I wish I knew how to reset the clock on our oven, it has been off for a long time...

I don't have any suggestions, but I really enjoyed reading all the things others have listed!
