I am thinking of supporting IoT devices (as a control hub) as well as cluster features for redundant file storage across different hosts. But feel free to share your thought by creating an Github issue. I would love to hear your ideas as well :)

I did something once. It's small but could add to ideas you'll come up with to standardize IoT support in ArOZ: github.com/dystopiandev/remoffice-...

I wired an Arduino UNO to a multi-channel relay board (as a sample IoT control gateway), then I linked the UNO to a RPi3B over I2C, which I interacted with from a Node.js backend over a Vue-based interface.

ArOZ is a wonderful concept with gorgeous aesthetics!

Thanks so much for you sharing!

I have checked your Github repo and seems you have done something similar of what I am working on. In ArOZ, it use something similar to your design but instead of I2C + Arduino, it use WiFi with ESP8266. I have uploaded some alpha testing code on Github over here and named it Home Dynamic v2
github.com/tobychui/Home-Dynamic

Maybe I will write a new post sharing my design concepts on this IoT system later.
