Photo Gallery - Hardware & Software Recommendation Request (lemmy.world)

Now that HA is getting further with local voice control, I'm working towards a full non-cloud, de-googled home experience.

We have a Google Home Hub and we love the slideshow aspect of it. If the Hub goes, I'd like to replace it with something visually appealing and take on the responsibility of putting photos into some directory(s) for use in a slide show.

Does anyone have:

Preferred HA card/integration/HACS solution?
Recommended hardware (ideally it's a screen, not a tablet)?
Advice for me while I'm on this journey?

I'll add: ideally I'd like the slideshow to work while we're in the area, and for the screen to go dark after a set time and/or HA knows we're in bed. I can have a radar/sensor flag if we're in the room, so any hardware wouldn't need to have it.
