How It Could Work
Image DietPi or Raspberry Pi OS Lite, autostart Chromium kiosk pointed at a Home Assistant Dashboard. Optional USB touch or GPIO rotary encoder. Skips MagicMirror two-way glass – just a shelf monitor – so cost and build time drop. PIR wake keeps the panel off when the room is empty.
