depending on your technical aptitude, you could wipe iOS and install linux, I'm sure there are projects allowing that.
then it can become a simple graphic terminal for smart home
home assistant is full similar pet project, with old kindles and tablet to control the server
Actually, that's a good point, someone did mention this Home Assistant thing once before. That could be interesting. Trouble is I'm yet to find a Linux project that's supposed to work on iPads quite this old. Makes sense, but it's a shame. I think I'd have just about the ability and patience to install OS and roll with the punches when it inevitably requires some kind of finessing and fixing, but k definitely don't have the ability to personally figure out how to make a kernel or distro that would work on this hardware. I'm guessing it's not an iOS app or if it was, one that work on such on old iOS
