Thanks That’s useful information.
Also good to know. So Rpi + Android might be a good way to go… I’m just trying to avoid buying an Rpi4 and still having to end up with a mac mini, so I’m trying to gather some info first.
I’d imagine it would require some coding. I’m willing to give it a go even though I don’t have any experience.
Neither do I. It is not for turning things on/off - that’s what sensors + openhab + rules are for.
I just want a big display primarily for:
- Having a big photo frame showing photos from my Facebook albums. I’ve written the code to do this, and I’m currently working on the MainUI widget to display them nicely.
- A place to display / edit some lists (todo, shopping, etc)
- Display the weather forecast, UV level, power utilisation (from openhab). Currently we have to continually ask Google assistant or check our phone to view this information.
- Show some kind of reminders
- Show the camera feed for the front door when the door bell is pressed / motion is detected whatever the rule may be.
