Subject: .	[ukha_d] Displays round the house. .
Category:

With the ever-increasing cheapness of text-based displays (high-quality ones that can be read across a room!), and the fact that I'm sure we can all get lots of information out of our HA controllers, I'm wondering what information SHOULD be displayed around the house.

- External temperature?
- Temperature in the room in question?
- Time?
- "There's someone at the door"
- "Phone Ringing: It's Bob"

Any other ideas?
What are the things we'd all like to know "at a glance".

I'm NOT proposing complex GUI displays, nor am I thinking in terms of interactive menus - just a straight output display.
