Hey everyone,
last weekend at a friends house I saw the Alexa Show (I think?) in action. It was used as a digital family-calendar, weather forecast and music player. It sat there on the fridge like an old school family planer. The music-player wouldnt be relevent to me. But an digital calendar in the kitchen with weather forecast looks really appealing. Do you probably know a privacy-friendly and suitable project with the possibility to implement my CalDav-Calendar(s)? Probably open Source? And without a lot of tinkering? (:

A fair amount of tinkering needed, but a raspberry pi + display can accomplish this if you don’t need the voice assistant.

Another DIY option to look at is Mycroft. They used to sell devices, but they've since stopped all development as of 2023. There's likely still a community tinkering away, so I'd imagine you could still run your own if you wanted.

Maybe something like the seeedstudio sensecap indicator?

There is only the 4" version right? I was looking for a bigger old day Kitchen calendar sized tool. But thanks for your idea :)

To the best of my knowledge, that's the only one they have.
