Imho, this only make sense as an unobtrusive indicator next to the front door where the umbrella's are (and then I do see it making sense, with some extra info like temp). I feel like taking out my phone or forcing me to look at it even just one extra time is not something I want to do to myself. It's like my smarthome, I either automate or make a (smart) button. Taking out the phone is a no no, but there is certainly a place for stuff like this. I really wish my Nest V3 was more hackable, it's in such a central location and I look at that thing so often... and it tells me so little. Oh and as a Dutch person we already look at buienradar [0] a lot and buienalarm [1] is also pretty popular here, both do notifications (maybe not at custom times, more like in 10 min or so I think, to be honest I think the apps are wrong too often to really trust them).

I really wish my Nest V3 was more hackable I have an Echo Show (the one with the screen) in a central location in my kitchen. It is too busy showing me stupid jokes that I could ask it to tell me to actually give me any useful information. When I have timers going, it doesn't even display the timer on the screen so I have to ask Alexa to tell me the timer status every few minutes. Sometimes it puts it in a tiny little font in the upper right hand corner as if stupid jokes are more important than the timer I am literally waiting on. My favorite is when I'm cooking and I have background music on along with 4 or 5 timers running at the same time and it thinks the most important thing I want to see are the lyrics to the song that it's playing. "Alexa, stop showing me lyrics" does nothing. "Alexa, leave the timer on the screen" does nothing. It's amazing how much improvement potential there is in these devices.
