Thermostats:

- lower the house temp when everyone is in bed (save energy + better sleep environment)

- detect whether you are likely to come home tonight or not to avoid warming up your bed if you are traveling

- letting the thermostat know what's the temp/humidity in your bedroom when you are in bed

Smart locks: you get in bed and, if you left the door unlocked, you get a push notification that says: "Your door is unlocked, do you want to lock it?"

These are core use cases now, we will definitely expand the list, there are a lot of things that need to happen in a smart home when you get in bed or fall asleep or when you wake up.
