Looking for a self hosted Dementia Clock (lemmy.ca)

I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a tool that could work as an internet connected dementia clock - that is displaying the time, time of day, date, and the ability to update the display remotely with reminders, notes, and messages.

I have an old iPad kicking around, which could save us from purchasing something like this.

Thanks in advance!

That's an interesting thought. Thank you, I'll toy around with that.

I would prefer something that functions both on and off line. A home assistant dashboard will be useless while you, for example, reboot the server. You would want something that stores all it needs locally and gets pushes from a server. Though I don't know what that would be ..

As the importance of a system increases your attention to stability must also increase.

Edit: you probably want something that is locked down as well so that the user doesn't accidently click to a different screen or exit the app.

Thanks, I did look in to it and had the same thoughts you raised.
