(re)Using old cellphones - Lemmy.zip

Hello everyone, and good evening. I got to old motorola phones (one fusion and a g8) and I’m gonna install ip webcam to put them to some use. Is there any other way I can make use of them with HA? Can I use their sensors for anything else?

I went this route a while ago using old cellphones and ultimately found them not worth the “savings” over even thirty dollar IP cams. There are just too many fiddly things that interfere with their reliable operation:

  • updates
  • app crashes
  • awkward placement and power delivery
  • overheating
