So most of my raspberry pi 4’s are deployed. But I still have a 3B, Zero 2W, Zero, 400 and a 1A that I have that I’m not doing anything with. I don’t know what would be a good project to use them with. Looking for some inspiration/ideas.

Edit: my current 4’s are hosting my pi hole, homebridge and Immich frame.

I want to have a smart frame (calendar and photos, maybe some home controls) with my zero, I’m just too lazy to actually do it. There are also cool “smart mirror”s I’ve seen. Zero can also become a WiFi pwner (https://pwnagotchi.ai/) and gameboy sized emulator

That might be a really good use for my zero to make a touch screen home controller. Emulation of games is neat but unfortunately I’ll probably never use it.
