REST-based API for Receiving and Displaying Custom Data #12

Closed dakboard closed 6 years ago

dakboard commented 7 years ago

Adding ideas from Michael A.

_Would be great to be able to have Nest and other home automation information shown on the Dakboard. For example:

  1. Show current home temperature and humidity
  2. Integrate with SmartThings to display status of Things (see SmartTiles)
  3. Integrate with Samsung Artik to display real-time graphs e.g. power consumption, car fuel level, etc.
  4. Integrate with health dashboard like Samsung Health or Withings to show no of steps walked and weight graph
  5. An Alexa skill to be able to control a DAKboard given that it is likely that a DAKBoard does not have input, voice commands could be triggered on Alexa and sent to the DAKBoard_

Additionally, you would really be able to take advantage of your growing community and we'd be able to create some awesome features! I was hoping to integrate some sort of RescueTime Productivity metrics into my DAKBoard; something like this would provide a massive ROI on the time you put into it, I hope it's high up on your to-do list.

Was hoping to be able to show when the next subway leaves at my local train station. Some kind of API would be lovely! 👍

I would love Zendesk integration or some way to hook their data. We like to show support data on our status board and this would push DAKboard over the top for us!

We also have in the past put a local traffic map on our board for reference too.

Hi all, we've added an "External Data/Fetch" block in the Custom Screen settings. This can pull in text or JSON data. Please take a look and let us know if this will work for you.

mattncsu commented 6 years ago

@danking6 Can you add even shorter intervals on data fetch? You can change photos every 5 seconds, but the shortest data refresh is 60 seconds. I'd like to be able to poll my local server often to display open/closed status of doors, etc.

danking6 commented 6 years ago

@mattncsu, yes, we can add some faster options to the dropdown.

danking6 commented 6 years ago

The faster options have been added and are now available when editing the External Data/Fetch block. Closing this request.
