Using Smart Actions?

Wanted to see if anyone has played with Smart Actions on the Maxx. Give me some examples of your coolest smart actions! I use mine to:

1. Start Pandora when i insert the headphones
2. When i get off work launch navigation/traffic app
3. Launch Google News in the morning

the one action I wish i could do with smart actions would be to use GPS data to turn on WIFI when i get home and turn it off when I leave. Unfortunately the smart actions app wont allow me to set such a rule.
 
I setup a smart action to send a text when I arrive at a certain location. It looks like it works but the person doesn't receive the text. The text message has a green arrow next to it. Does that just mean that it was generated by a smart action. Anyone have any idea why the text isn't being received? Thanks.
 
Green arrow means sending. Unless you have delivery reports turned on there is no way to tell if it was actually delivered. And it only says delivered when the other persons carrier accepts the message, not when they actually get it on their phone.

And in my experience delivery reports only work when you are sending a message to someone that's on the same carrier as you otherwise it stays at pending.
