System-Level Ideas
IoT remote status monitoring and reporting: Temperature and Humidity Ambient or directional light level Door open/close status Garage door open/close status Motion detection WireShark style network traffic capture for commercial security systems, logging activity to local database IoT Database to log device, timestamp, function, value IoT Direct to MQTT or MH systems (DTMQ? DTMH?) Web Status page for current IoT status of all devices, functions and status "AI-like" reporting pages for certain sensor activities, probably just a template with blanks filled in based on the status or value Reminders for garbage and recycling days |
