The interaction with and implications of simple sensor data play an increasingly important role in the design and use of smart interactive system, e.g. in the home. We present an updated version of our Sensorkit, a tool for collecting, processing, visualizing and interacting with simple sensor data. The Sensorkit is an open tool that comes with all that is needed 'in a box' and works 'out of the box'. We present recent new features such as new sensors or an integrated annotation tool for lay users that is also a flexible support for researchers. We show the great flexibility of the Sensorkit as a research tool for explorative and creative sensor usages and for privacy research in the home. We have also gained valuable experiences in educational uses in a wide variety of settings. We hope to inspire similar or other creative uses in research, education and beyond.
