So, I had this extra 27in monitor and Raspberry Pi 3b+ sitting around, and I got the itch to make something. I have seen other digital poster concepts, but I wanted something that would help me learn more about HA development. Posterfy is the result.
In short, Posterfy is a webapp that displays movie poster art and media player status information. Currently, it rotates thru “Coming Soon”, “Now Playing” and “Streaming Now” movie art. Basically, it’s a dashboard that shows data from two primary HA entities: A media player and a sensor. The sensor is a custom component that stores the retrieved movie data.
The project is very early, and has lots of places to improve upon. I plan to mount my extra monitor on the wall (like a poster) outside my home movie room.
My hope is that others find this project helpful. Any comments or contributions are welcome!
