That thread on clocks and the mention of a WIFI clock got me thinking:
Has anyone ever made a clock based around an inexpensive Android pad or even a Pi + screen combo?
Something that just sits on the wall or the mantelpiece and displays the time (fake clockface, smartwatch style).
BUT is also user customisable to display any amount of other data at particular times, in a panel at a distance readable format.
Like:
7am - display weather and current realtime train info for your station in alternation.Upcoming select entries from your calendar
Stuff connected with your home automation.
This is DIY-able as cheap pad, frame and custom app - but surely someone's already done this?
