MMM-Remote-Control VS MagicMirror

You Need this : https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control

After messing around with the pi2 for the last few days, I have it working and it's doing great! I just had an epiphany... I installed MMM remote control (https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control) and I have the MMM scheduler (https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler). They both work to control what you see when. In the remote control module you can make the screen full screen. And control modules from your mobile device (or anything that is on your network, really). I think I'm going to clone my configuration and see how it works. Then I can just full screen from the app, and one is all you need. Going to try it tomorrow (Fingers crossed)

I'm not sure I fully understand the questoin, but you might look into the MMM-Remote-Control module. It hosts a website, accessible by any device on your network, that can turn on/off the screen, reboot/shutdown the Pi, and a whole host of other functions.

I use MagicMirror to do this. It's a great piece of software. I'm a bit shocked nobody has mentioned this yet. https://magicmirror.builders/

The most used solution it’s https://magicmirror.builders/

I’m planning on using MagicMirror (https://magicmirror.builders/) to do this in my kitchen but without the mirror part (just a TV mounted in a niche on the wall). Did you build your software from scratch?

Check out Magic Mirror. Could be what you're looking for. https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

Would this work with magic mirror?

If so I will order right away

Have a look at the Magic Mirror project https://magicmirror.builders/

You could also look into something like MagicMirror. not sure if you have a server to host, or looking for just local on iPad.

The final option seems to be basically homebrewing a solution using a program like MagicMirror and local image files installed on the pi. There quite a few guides out there on different ways to do this. But

You can still participate in distributed computing projects, just check out Science United which is one that uses BOINC for the project management. I've got it running on my Raspberry Pi (which primarily runs Magic Mirror so its nice to let somebody else get some benefit since its primarily a relatively static display). Also, Folding@Home did do some of the research into COVID, so it is staying up to date.
