Ask HN: Dashboards in AppleTVs?
We have several TVs with AppleTVs mounted around the office that allows us to easily cast during short meetings, standups, etc. While these TVs aren't actively used, we'd like to display company dashboards in them. These dashboards might include API/server health metrics, product SLAs, operational pipeline pressure, etc. Is there a way to display these graphs (think Datadog, Periscope, etc. dashboards) in AppleTVs?
Right now we're also adding RaspberryPIs to some TVs that boot up with Chromium in kiosk mode. Each RaspberryPI is configured to show a different dashboard but they've proven to be very unreliable and require manual intervention at least once a day.
- pbrumm 8y agoyou should look at chromecasts for this purpose. You can control them with code, for example. https://github.com/Raven24/rbcast https://github.com/Raven24/rbcast This also allows your team to easily cast to them when they need to override the default display
- dmlittle 8y agoIdeally it's something simple such that non-technical people can also cast and/or display dashboards.
- pbrumm 8y agoeasily displaying many dashboards within your office is something that I haven't found any off the shelf solutions for. Our office has 20 tv's with chromecasts all displaying specific dashboards, but it took coding effort to get it to work.
