Pair it with one of those toilet seat iBooks from the 90s and you've really got something!

A lot of people already have iPads mounted as interfaces. What is missing is the right software (always on display or proximity wake or stuff like that)

This is why I haven’t bought an Appe TV yet. The current model is from 2022, and I want it for more than TV. My motivation was based on Firestick getting further enshittified, but also improvements in Apple TV+ (which Firestick doesn’t have an app for). That old design was game oriented but I’m not likely to game through that. It does do home automation but nothing my Home Assistant hub (with HomeKit bridge) doesn’t already do.

But give me some actual improvements in my smart home and I’m there. Or give me on-device ai that does something useful for me and I’m there. I’ve been thinking about building smart home displays for various reasons but haven’t had time to. Third party monitors are too limited or require too much work to integrate with the Apple ecosystem, so build it and I will come (and yes I realize the pun)
