Hey everyone!

I’ve been lurking in this community for a while and noticed several posts about DIY displays and voice assistants. I’m thinking about hacking together a smart display device that would combine:

• Digital family calendar (Cozi-style)

• Home Assistant integration

• Voice control

• AI for managing schedules and reminders

• A nice-looking design (tired of taped-together solutions!)

Basically, I want something that sits on my kitchen counter that my whole family can use to check schedules, control the house, and manage our chaos - all while looking decent enough that it doesn’t scream “weekend project.”

I’m a tinkerer/developer with some hardware experience and I’m thinking of building a prototype. Before I dive in too deep - is this something others would find useful, or am I solving a problem only I have?

What features would make this a must-have for your home? Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!
