Regarding the Toniebox and custom audiobooks - do you know that there’s a tool to add audio files that can be triggered by custom NFC tags?

Here’s the talk about it:

And the project website:

There’s even a custom firmware that can send activity data to Home Assistant, can pull audio from a local server, etc.

Yes! I watched that talk – fascinating reverse engineering work. The custom NFC tag approach is really clever.

What stood out to me was how much data gets tracked by the original firmware. Kind of eye-opening. The custom firmware fixing that is great for privacy-conscious parents.
