Hey mc-T2,

following some ideas living in my head. The use cases are not limited to mcthings (or need an attached infrastructure/application) but the low-power-place-anywhere possibilities are a real enabler:

mcDash
+ attaching one or more buttons to create something like a self made amazon dash button (order new coffee beans / laundry detergent / dishwasher tab)

Coffee Machine
+ attaching a water level sensor to show in 1 cm steps how much water is in the tank
+ attaching a ultrasonic / infrared sensor to measure if there are enough coffee beans left

Freezer-Addon
sometimes I forget to but a bottle in the fridge. As a workaround I often place it in the freezer. There I forgot it more than one beeing remembered by that unusual sound coming from my freezer when the bottle exploded. To prevent that I thought about:
+ using the "Knock-knock" possiblity / or attaching a button to the mcmodule to start a simple countdown. When I open the freezer to place a bottle I just have to knock the mcmodule or to press the button and after 30 min I get a reminder on my cell to take the bottle out.

Kind regards,
