xda-developers.com

An old smartphone can be repurposed as a dedicated home assistant dashboard, offering a more efficient use than a security camera. This setup provides a permanent command center for smart home control, utilizing apps like Home Assistant companion or WallPanel for a locked-down, always-on display. Other potential uses for old phones include a hi-fi music streamer, a PC hardware monitor, or a 3D printer controller, maximizing their capabilities beyond basic functions.
