I had a raspberry pi 3a+ and the old raspberry pi touchscreen laying around. So I'm writing a custom dashboard for it using Rust/Slint[1]. It directly uses opengl without any display manager/window system. It mostly talks to home assistant. Right now, when I start a 3d print, it automatically switches to a view with live camera of the printer and some stats. I can monitor the status of my washer/dryer so I know when they are done (using cheap TP-Link Tapo smart plugs[2]). My favorite thing it does, is if any motion is detected on my Ring cameras, it just automatically pulls up that live feed. Took a little work to get decent playback performance but the pi 3a+ has hardware h264 decoding. Its nice, overall, to have a little dedicated touchscreen on my desk that I can easily tweak to display whatever I want. Its silent and low power. | ||
