For toon1 I built the openzwave library and the (very beta) user interface some time ago. Using that, you can add zwave components and operate them. Not extremely useful, probably there are other/better ways to do that.
Kudo's but i would like to keep it as close as factory (reset) requires less work to copy to others/manuals or other stuff ..
I might investigate if i can push some "data" over USB towards an arduino. only thing i want/need is a buzzer .. that emits a tone .. doing more is nice I saw that a webcam can be used so ..

But really that was already done by other people as integrations towards domoticz, homeassisant or other centrale domotica setups. And i'm talking years ago

Nice to see that you manage to do the same to your own homebrew domotica server.
If you might happen to have a Toon2 you can get some extra values from sensors but those are harder to get out of the toon. The VOC particle sensor for example requires QML code as the raw values are not presented in the operating system. Ambient light and humidity are readable.
I didn't see a domoticz plugin for a rooted toon, some scripts and a lot of script work .. that do the same ..
What I build, was a proof of concept and I used 75% was already done i just needed to change some code, and correct some mistakes, but to be honest without the ground work done it would be a brick instead of recycle-able ..
it would be nice if a "central domotica setup" could retrieve and send data between it and the Toon, in simple way ..
retrieving is easy, although displaying is another issue (daily stats)
From your domotica thing it would be far easier to collect google calender data (example).. and display on the toon .. since the toon does not have the tools to do it (someone is working on it I saw)
but if you could use the zwave or other facilities like a hub (ikea tradfri/hue or such) it would mean a device less and still have the benifits .. because its centrally located in the living area .. (just a brainfart)
