# Inkybot
|
|
|
|
This project creates a wall display using a Raspberry Pi equipped with a Pimoroni Inky Impression 4": https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-impression-4

## Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
Given that the e-ink display takes several seconds to update, this project will not be useful as the primary or sole interface for much. But as a secondary interface it's great to be able to reach up and hit a button on a picture frame and pause the music or toggle a wi-fi configuration setting, for example.

## Features / Roadmap
|
|
|
|
It's not organized into a useful project yet. At present it has:
|
|
|
|
- Random image slideshow from a directory on the host, with scaling and color adaptive letterboxing
|
|
- Support for the four side buttons, with icon overlay
|
|
- An extensible, configurable state machine to support new types of display functions
|
|
|
|
Some things that are planned in the near future:
|
|
|
|
- Proper modularity -- this thing is a mess right now :)
|
|
- More built-in states and examples
|
|
- Status graphs from Home Assistant or other sources
|
|
- Mopidy or other media players
|
|
- Support for more different display types
|
|
