24" Kitchen Infoboard with FireTV Stick

[KamiSchami]

This was the first board I built. After two years, the self-made monitor was brocken and I treated ourselves to a Full HD monitor. An HDMI switch with remote control is installed and a FireTV Stick. We watch TV via Waipu.TV. Sound comes through the Bluetooth speaker. Various modules are installed, such as a frame module where I can see the beach. At the bottom right I can switch on the webcam from the nest box. I like it rather simple, hence the original modules and subtle colors. I hope you enjoy it.

It’s really very simple. The switch has a remote control. Channel 1 MM Channel 2 TV the FireTV Stick can connect to the bluetooth box. As quite easy.

@kamischami thank you :)

I was curious - is MM being driven from something like a RP behind the screen, or are you using a browser / casting?

Hello!! This looks GREAT. I can muddle my way through back-end programming, but the front-end stuff is Greek to me - would you mind sharing what modules you have added, and a few hints about what you did with css to get this super clean look?

I have a secret plan to try an gin up an organization board for my wife as a (late) Christmas gift - we’ll be out of the country so I’m trying to get as much done now as possible, but she’s a terrible beta tester - it has to be pretty dialed in to get her to buy in on using something (she’s a wonderful wife and mother however)

Thank you in advance!
