How would you use a few iPads in your homelab? (alien.top)

For Christmas I'll probably upgrade the kids and wife's iPads and in return I'll have a few iPads hanging around. I was curious how I could use these in my home network/homelab environment. Cli monitors? Grafana monitors? Spice/vnc monitors?

If you use, or have good ideas on how to incorporate three iPads I'd like to hear your creativity!

three on one well, or in three separate rooms? What's the zigbee button at the doorway for? is that for the ipad or just an automation?

Each room has a 4 button Hue Zigbee button: Ceiling lights on/off, brightness up, brightness down, then the Hue button turns on/off bedside lights, floor lamps etc.

The three iPads are all in different places: main entrance way/downstairs hallway, top of the stairs/upstairs hallway, in the walk in closet of the master bedroom.

Each iPad has a default screen with the lights in the area around it, while also able to change to other views in HA so control heating, robot vacuums etc.
