Yes, plugin framework is a great idea. Perhaps someone will develop a quick
audio analysis filter that could tell the difference between snoring (don't
ring), office noise (ok to ring) and a baby's cry (don't ring).

Temperature sensor would be another sensor. Perhaps even moisture sensor? Be
alerted if you leave your Neo out in the rain or put it in the laundry.
