First of all, @dupontgu thank you for this amazing project.

For the first point - I love that idea, though I'm not sure I would keep it in the main branch until a standard hardware setup solidifies a bit more. People can feel free to add something like that themselves.

Re: settings menu, I would love to see this. I think I would start with Wifi creds and Spotify creds, and maybe an option to select another Spotify Connect device on the user's account for playback. Bluetooth would be great but I'm unsure of a simple way to do it.

I know just enough about python to be dangerous, but I found a python extension module that allows access to system Bluetooth resources that is called PuBluez

I don't know if that is any help to anyone

EDIT: I also came across a python module that could help with setting up WiFi (similar to the Bluetooth module) called PyWiFiControl

@EvanClements Evan, thank you for your contribution, I am pretty sure this would help us, when we decide to add the feature. I am pretty sure that there is a safe way to achieve bluetooth and wifi configuration without compromising device security.
