I am not sure if any of you have seen this new display called Vestaboard being created.
I think that this is pretty neat and could see a ton of use for a messaging board for Home Assistant except for one thing … the price. About $2,800 US if I remember correctly.
This is where I wish that I could be a programmer, I would think that something similar could be done with software instead of a mechanical board. I could see myself hanging a monitor on the wall to get reminders, the morning weather forecast, when someone is in route, display when the washer/dryer has finished etc etc. Keeping the same fell with the letter rotation and flip sound.
I did a quick look around and saw that someone has already done something similar although not 100% sure how it works, but I like the clean line of the Vestaboard better.
