RE: Displays round the house.

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

I was thinking of having a central web server...

The inputs: The various "info source" plugins
The outputs: Multiple LCDs/VFDs, potentially with different resolutions
The triggers: "Events" like phone rining, doorbell rung, PIR x
triggered

The web interface: For each output, trigger status (none, trigger 1,
trigger 2, etc...), define which inputs would be displayed, and what
display characteristics would be used.

Eg: 

Bedroom Display (4x80)

      NORMAL:
            
      Display date, time on line 1
           
      Display room temp, external temp on line
2
           
      Display # unread emails on line 3
           
      Display news headlines on line 4
(scrolling)

      TRIGGER 1 (Phone Ringing)

           
      Display CLI of incoming call on line 1
           
      Display subject of last email from person
making call on line 2 (scrolling)
           
      Display date, time on line 3
           
      Display news headlines on line 4
(scrolling)      


Kitchen Display (2x80)

      NORMAL:
            
      Display date, time on line 1
           
      Display room temp, external temp on line
2

      TRIGGER 1 (Phone Ringing)

           
      Display CLI of incoming call on line 1
           
      Display subject of last email from person
making call on line 2 (scrolling)
