My thoughts exactly.

I had my weather station run off a Nook. An absolutely minimal Android app using webkit as my main interface. Worked a charm, except the screen constantly went to sleep, something I never got around fixing. As for processing power, I really don't see a problem, as long as you don't animate transitions and do a lot of client-side processing.

Currently, I am running an OpenHab client (version 2.11.0) off of a Tolino Vision 5. This and the Shine 3 are very nice devices and don't cost much. They are a bit finicky in terms of sideloading apps, although not exactly difficult. There is a really good description on Alles eBook on how to do that...
