[VOTE 👍🏻🤩] HTTP custom text and images

[mungle]

Hello!
I’d like to display some text messages and images via http requests using nodered. As you don’t distribute the source code, can you implement similar features for the “basic” version?
Thank you!

[GeekMagicClock]

Hello, this is possible, but it also depends on your needs, how big the font size and layout style you need, maybe a simple interface can be provided.

It can be displayed an html with a simple css style?

With a HTTP request like:
http://192.168.0.2/message?title=hello&message=world

and a html section in the web admin like:

<h1 class=“uppercase”>%title%</h1>
<p class=“red”>%message%</p>

and a css section with:

.uppercase{ text-transform: uppercase; }
.red{ color: red; }

the message can be easily customized! There are also other and better methods I believe (JSON?).
It would be great to display also images sent by HTTP requests! When a new image has been sent received and displayed by the device, the previous will be deleted. 👍👍👍

This would be very appreciated by me 🤩 and many, many users, I believe!!!

Okay, let's vote & talk.

Is it some thing like this?

Title section: font size, font color.
Message section: font size, font color.
Image section: image size.

It's better to fix the font-size and image size, since only a few font-size is designed in the firmware for the present.
And I wonder what's that used for, what kind of situation.

Hello,
I'd use to send home notifications like, reminders, appointments or post-it messages.
I'd also like to use to view custom image screenshot from my security camera system when a motion alert is detected (I'm now using a telegram bot and it's super useful!!!)

To be as flexible as possible I suggest four style:

1 - Text only

2 - Text + custom icon

3 - Text + background image

4 - Image only

The display style change based on the HTTP message. If there's message=[text] only, the smalltv will ignore the other inputs (title, icon and image) as they're "empty" displaying the message field only.

Once a new message is sent, the previous one will be deleted.

The image only can be the most flexible solution as you can generate with an external script an image with any content in any style and layout you like mixing text and images.

Hello! Do you have updates on this?

[PhantomArt]

I would like to be able to display a custom 240x240 image via the API, no animation needed, just a static image. Then I could create an image with my application with any information and any design, and use the device only as a display to display this image.

Hello, GeekMagicClock
Can you share if it is possible to connect to the device via SSH and how to do it?

[mungle]

Hello! Do you have updates on this?

Hello, I'm going to add the image full screen update feature.

I’m super excited as many others I believe. Do you have any ETA for the feature?

[4mitabh]

This will be a great addition.
Please make this happen!

[gholtike]

I'm also here to vote, I'm excited about the idea, I think it can meet the needs of many different applications.

Or if we can configure an HTTP API what the device can poll, and update the screen with the data returned (in a predefined schema that the device supports) by the API.
