I have an iPad Mini 2 mounted on my fridge showing our google calendar so me and my wife always know what's planned each week, there is something really cool about making something useful out of old tech.
- aksss 3y agoAt the very least, it's gratifying to know you saved the equipment from the landfill. Saving money is also highly gratifying the older you get (I find).
- benterix 3y agoCool! How is it mounted? And U assume it's permanetnly connected to power?
- gambiting 3y agoI got one of these for it[0], so it attaches directly to the fridge - then I just run a 3m long lightning cable along the side of the fridge in slim trunking [0] https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C6DVYXQH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C6DVYXQH/ref=ppx_yo_dt...
- Ajay-p 3y agoSame. I have an iPad 2 mounted in my bathroom plugged in to a timer so it doesn't just charge all day. I use it for calendar and check on my fledgling stock portfolio. That's all it is good for. Time to jailbreak it I suppose, but wish I could install Ubuntu.
- nickthegreek 3y agoI use our old iPad mounted to the fridge with velcro command strips to interface with Home Assistant. I thought the wife was going to hate it, but she loves it more than I do.
- gambiting 3y agoHaha I actually have a very cheap android tablet to the side for Home Assistant, old tablets are perfect for both of those things.
