I am a HA fan and backed Tidbyt on Kickstarter.
The device could have so much use with HA. Options are endless.
Also the makers made it open source so people could make more and more options for it.
Now online through the API, but they are bussy with an option to use it offline as well.
It would be super neat if we could get graphs / state from HA into this device! I just got mine and really enjoy the look of it! A quick look at the tool makes me think we could host a local docker that can push content to the device relatively easily…
I made a Tidbyt community app that can display an entity value, but only if you have a Nabu Casa subscription. As far as I know, there is not a local api yet (though I don’t stay closely connected with Tidbyt updates).
Why does this only work with a Nabu Casa account? Well the Tidbyt team does not allow users to enter custom urls into the app configuration because this would allow for malicious attacks to any url using their servers. This means that people can not point to a custom url that they host (including local IPs) to retrieve data.
I argued that the Nabu Casa url acts like an api key in that the first section is long and seemingly a random string of characters unique to each user. Ex. abcabc1234.ui.nabu.casa The Tidbyt team agreed and now allow for data to be retrieved from Nabu Casa by configuring the first section of the url in the Tidbyt app.
