What else would there be value in doing with a nuke’d Vera ?

Hi @rafale77

I’m looking to run this on the weekend (time permitting) but when you think about what’s under the hood, I was wondering what else can be done to not only further clean/clear it out, but also how else could I repurpose my old Vera?

• Could there be a way to repurpose it back to it’s base openWRT build ?
• Can something be done with the bluetooth (e.g a scanner via bluetoothctl) ?
• Can I use it as a CIFS/SMB share ?
• There looks to be a USB3 connector on the Vera Secure board (scope for that) ?
• Is there a way to add the nuked Vera as an extender or perhaps a bridge for another Vera ?
