I’m looking for a message display system that I can use with HS3. I’m hoping that something close to what I want is already available, but I don’t know how to research it.
I’ll describe here my ideal solution and ask the community for best fit suggestions using what’s currently available. Here are my ideal specs (I think):

I’ll describe here my ideal solution and ask the community for best fit suggestions using what’s currently available. Here are my ideal specs (I think):
- One or more displays, each hosted by an inexpensive (probably Android) tablet.
- Tablet uses Wi-Fi to communicate with HS3.
- Perhaps use MQTT (I have no current experience, but plan to learn) for communication link, but open to other possibilities.
- Display shows an arbitrary number of messages with unique IDs.
- If there are more messages to be displayed than will fit the screen (say, > 10-20 messages), the app will automatically scroll the messages at a user selectable rate.
- Message font size and color are user specified.
- New messages are event driven, with unique message IDs.
- If an event creates a new message with an ID that matches an ID of a currently displayed message, the new message will replace the old one on the display.
- Removal of individual messages is also event driven via event designated message ID.
Anyone?
