The full story
Wanting to be free of DAKboard and avoid needing a Raspberry Pi for every screen as with MagicMirror, the poster built an alternative display with Claude. It runs in a Docker container on Proxmox, and a Samsung smart monitor and a tablet each open their own URL.
It connects to Home Assistant over WebSocket for notifications and pops up the camera when the doorbell rings; otherwise it shows a family photo slideshow from Immich. They say it was completely vibe-coded and would not have been possible without Claude.
