Well, given my hub is being switched out at the moment since it broke 2 days into it... My uses though are:
1) Presence detectors to help Nest out in auto-away mode
2) Outside lights coming on at set times, with presence. No point in coming on if we're not there, but come on if we're coming home
3) Stopping the Nest kick in if windows are open
4) Z-Wave doorbell to play doorbell sound over the Sonos
5) Entry detectors as a second confirmation alarm
6) Tempted to be extremely lazy and get myself some blind motors so open/close blinds at set times
