#Tidbyt

I got tired of the coffee machine turning off before I went to get my second cup, so I made a clock that alerts me if the kitchen has been empty for 50 minutes. Only took about 20 months…
Blatantly copied the #tidbyt design. I’m quite happy with how it turned out.

Ahaha the fuckers who bought the #tidbyt may have bricked the gen one devices? It's unclear, but seems like they turned off servers? It was a great device, and I guess I need to find time to setup the open source backend.

Gonna blame hustle culture for the way the founders handled their exit.

@earth2marsh do you have a #Tidbyt or #TidbytGen2 ?

It's a great everything clock, and they just #OpenSourced #OpenFrameworked a lot of the code and hardware.

Who are my #Tidbyt fans?

Our #TidbytGen2 just arrived from the @hellotidbyt Kickstarter we contributed to months ago.

Who wants to see a #Livestream tomorrow while we set it up?

Does anyone on the Fediverse have a Tidbyt? Looks like an interesting device to display data of all sorts, I’m wondering if anyone has it working with Enphase API? It looks like there used to be an app but don’t see it anymore. tidbyt.com/ #tidbyt #solar

I cleaned up the #Tidbyt code for displaying Flights Nearby using data from the #HomeAssistant #FlightRadar24 integration. This replaces my previous applet that required a paid API.

The app will pull tail logos from airhex, thus no longer requiring an array of base64 encoded tail logos.

Last time I tried to publish an app to the Tidbyt store wasn't the best experience, so I suggest running this locally on your network.

Will add scripts and HA automations later

My PR was merged this morning, so if you have a #Tidbyt the Mastodon Followers app should now work correctly for instances that have authorized fetch enabled! oldbytes.space/@smallsco/11189

So back in December, I bought myself a Christmas present. However, there was an inventory delay, so it didn’t end up shipping until last week…and it finally arrived today!

This is a #Tidbyt, a 64x32 LED smart display! And it can do a lot of neat stuff!

A mysterious cardboard box, with a colourful “Tidbyt” sticker at the bottom! The sticker has a black background, with colourful confetti-like rectangles decorating it.Opening the box reveals another “Tidbyt" sticker, this one still on its’ backing, ready for placement on a laptop. There is also a much larger piece of cardboard, with the Tidbyt logo and a white background. Both are sitting atop a piece of black foam.Lifting the foam reveals a miniature LED display with a beautiful wooden frame, and a power adapter wrapped in plastic.The display is now plugged into power and reads “Open Tidbyt App”, with a pixelated photo of a phone next to it.

@eighthourlunch you can get the #tidbyt cheaper used or refurbished. #shopApp #ebay

Is there something cheaper/ better you would compare it to?

Who else has a Tidbyt?

We just got one and we are going to program some plugins for it.

Fucking around with a Plex Now Playing screen for the #Tidbyt.

I'm using a Home Assistant Now Playing app as a base, but I need to take from other Plex applets and improve on it.

Not sure how to disable scrolling, or how to split long titles automatically

Photos are blurry because the text was scrolling 😂

Nice ordered the Tidbyt Gen 2 for the kids but I’ll probably end up playing around with it 😂 kck.st/3Qby6S7 #tidbyt

The Pet Pikachi for Tidbyt is a cute little thing that changes all day. Sitting here on my laptop and it’s doing sort of the same.

The Instagram ads finally got me and purchased a TidByt. Thinking it’ll be a nice random decoration cycling through stuff.

Spent today making a #Tidbyt app to show the latest Critical Chicken headline. 🤓

Will anyone (other than me) install it?

I doubt it.

Will I smile every time I glance across the living room and see it scrolling past?

Yes.

So there. 😁

I was planning to get an #LED display and #hack it from scratch, but my mom decided to pay for a #Tidbyt instead.

It's days before I get it in the mail, and I've already coded an #app for it that gives me today's custard flavors at Kopp's.

While searching for cool #tech stuff, I found this #IoT device called a #Tidbyt. The concept is super cool to me; the price is not. 😅

However, @adafruit sells a similar #LED display to the one it uses, which is awesome.

Once I can afford it, I'm #hacking the heck out of it.
