Hello everyone, and good evening. I got to old motorola phones (one fusion and a g8) and I'm gonna install ip webcam to put them to some use. Is there any other way I can make use of them with HA? Can I use their sensors for anything else?

I imagine you could run some apps to fetch rtsp feed but I am doubting the reliability of such setup. If its still running full android then it will be more pain to make it work as a 24/7 camera than to just use it as a control panel. Do let us know if you manage to utilise them, I am quite interested.
