RE: Displays round the house.

["Anthony Livingstone" <anto@xxxxxxx>]

Haven't looked into it so don't know if this is possible...
But I was hoping it would be possible to do something like this with
the
SLiMP3.
Nice big VFD display connected by Ethernet sitting in the living room
doing nothing most of the time...
Anyone know if it's possible to trigger evens on the display from say
Homeseer?

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.
