The smartphones I've been using recently include "HUAWEI P30" and "moto g7". While I bought the summer model, I also have some smartphones that I no longer carry because they have been replaced, but recently one of them is being used again for another purpose.
I also have a nova lite 3, but 2 is my favorite``HUAWEI nova lite 2'', which I used as a sub-device until around spring. The specs and camera performance aren't that high, but I liked the aluminum body, which I didn't have to worry about scratches, and the size and ease of handling. It's not an expensive model, so I didn't want to go out of my way to let it go, so I gave it a new place to play.
as a remote control for smart home devices
As for what I use it for, I use it as a remote control for smart home devices. After that, as a standard use of the terminal after model change, it is also an alarm. It is designed so that it can be used conveniently as a "terminal used only at home".
In my home, I have installed Ratoc System's "RS-WFIREX4", and have created an environment in which home appliances such as air conditioners and lighting can be operated from apps and smart speakers. I usually operate it via a smart speaker, but touch operation is faster than voice operation for detailed operations such as the temperature of the air conditioner and the brightness of the lighting.
Since it is installed on the wall and the screen is unlocked, it can be used just like a remote control. Touch-panel learning remote controls are quite expensive, so it might be a surprisingly wallet-friendly idea to make something similar with a smartphone that you no longer use.
Wall hangings using smartphone accessories that are popular on InstagramSince it is dangerous to use a smartphone in normal use, it is of course dangerous to leave it in a state where even guests can operate it, so delete or disable the app leaving only the necessary ones, account all logged out. Since the beginning of 2019, the Play Store has made it possible to update apps even if you are not logged in with a Google account, so it is very helpful for such special operations.
I thought of several ways to fix the smartphone to the wall, but I tried using an accessory called "POPSOCKETS", which is popular mainly on Instagram. It is a telescopic finger hook that attaches to the back of the smartphone, and it is easy to use by itself, similar to a smartphone ring. If you attach the separately sold mount parts to the wall, you can easily attach and detach it by simply hooking it.
