Or just hackable. The Lenovo Smart Clock 2 is a 4 inch touchscreen Google Home clock, microphone, decent little speakers, for $20.
Apparently it is hackable and fully rooted: https://github.com/untocodes/lenovo-cube-hacking https://github.com/untocodes/lenovo-cube-hacking
I don't see anybody doing anything cool with it though. I wouldn't mind just forcing it to always display a webpage to display blood glucose levels with nightscout. I'd give them to all my diabetic relatives.

- ljf 4y agoI have one of the gen one and wanted to love it. But so many things just weren't right. Doesn't show my Google calendar reminders Getting it to play a morning routine failed, and when it worked the volume levels were all over the place - sometimes the news it played me would be super loud, sometimes I couldn't here the radio or music it played next. It can't play a youtube video It didn't have loads of basic controls when listening to podcasts (speed, skip back 30 seconds etc) Can't display a custom home screen, I'd love to see more weather detail, or a tide chart, or local traffic news. As I say, really wanted to like it, but never found a use for it yet.
