Thanks to the Raspberry Pi and its expansive community, customizing your house with smart devices is easier than ever. Today, we've got a cool smart home gadget to share, put together by a maker and developer who goes by _Ctl on Reddit. Using our favorite SBC, he's created a touchscreen home dashboard full of useful features, apps, and add-ons.
This project looks great with a wooden frame and is mounted to the wall for a finished, decorative look. According to _Ctl, he can use it for media support through things like Sonos, which lets you play music or queue up videos on YouTube. It also has useful tools like a weather app and can sync with Google tools to monitor calendar events and tasks.
