I also did a project like this last year -- I only got around to asking for date & time working, and was happy enough to stop going there...
I disagree with (1), however: In the interest of making WAN-independent software (as in, I don't want my home automation to stop working if I can't call out to wit.ai), I actually don't agree with that point. I think that using CMUSphinx can be made extremely accurate with continuous training (something I'm angling to put in my version).
Then again, I'm planning on making a competing product so differentiation is good for me. I think there are a lot of ways they can improve on the idea
