I've used them in a few projects over the years, largely als a receiver/transmitter for various devices operating on 433 MHz.
E.g. as an Internet-enabled thermostat for the furnace etc.

Could maybe work as a stationary alarm receiver internet relay sort of thing.

It seems to have gone full circle and people are using phones now for what has been previously the domain of radio amateurs.
