Have a GeekMagic SmallTV device?\n\nThis project provides a service to display active Alexa timers on a GeekMagic SmallTV device, using its photo album display feature.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- A [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) instance with the [Alexa Media Player](https://github.com/alandtse/alexa_media_player) integration\n- A server in your network that can host the TimerScreen service (e.g. some Raspberry Pi or similar)\n- A GeekMagic SmallTV (e.g. on [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006159850972.html)). Either Ultra (ESP8266) or Pro (ESP32) is fine.\n  Tested on a SmallTV Ultra with firmware version 9.0.33.\n\n### TimerScreen Server\n\n#### Example Setup on a Linux server\n\n1. Install [ASP.NET Core Runtime 8.0 runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0) on your server\n\n2. Download the latest release of TimerScreen from the [releases page](https://github.com/3breadt/SmallTvTimerScreen/releases/)\n\n3. Unpack to /var/www/smalltv-timerscreen and grant read access to the www-data user.\n   This assumes a www-data user already exist. Adjust as necessary for your system.\n\n4. Create a systemd service file `/etc/systemd/system/smalltv-timerscreen.service` with the following content (adjust paths as necessary):\n   ```ini\n   [Unit]\n   Description=Displays Alexa Timers on a SmallTV device\n   \n   [Service]\n   WorkingDirectory=/var/www/smalltv-timerscreen\n   ExecStart=/usr/bin/dotnet /var/www/smalltv-timerscreen/SmallTvTimerScreen.dll\n   Restart=always\n   # Restart service after 10 seconds if the dotnet service crashes:\n   RestartSec=10\n   KillSignal=SIGINT\n   SyslogIdentifier=dotnet-smalttv-timerscreen\n   User=www-data\n   Environment=ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production\n   Environment=DOTNET_NOLOGO=true\n   Environment=ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:5000\n   \n   [Install]\n   WantedBy=multi-user.target\n   ```\n   Adjust the value of ASPNETCORE_URLS according to which ports are available on your system.\n   Open that port so that it is accessible by Home Assistant.\n   You may also place a reverse proxy in front of the application server, e.g. nginx or Apache.\n\n5. Reload the systemd configuration and start the service:\n   ```bash\n   sudo systemctl daemon-reload\n   sudo systemctl start smalltv-timerscreen\n   ```\n\n### Home Assistant\n\n1. Install the Alexa Media Player integration in Home Assistant and configure it with your Amazon account.\n   A guide is available in the [Alexa Media Player integration wiki](https://github.com/alandtse/alexa_media_player/wiki/Configuration).\n\n2. Add a [RESTful command](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/rest_command/) to your `configuration.yaml` to send active timers to the TimerScreen service:\n   ```yaml\n   rest_command:\n     smalltv_timerscreen:\n       url: 'http://\u003cTIMER_SCREEN_SERVER\u003e/timer/nexttimer'\n       method: POST\n       headers:\n         accept: 'application/json'\n        payload: '{{ states.sensor.echo_dot_next_timer.attributes | tojson }}'\n       content_type: 'application/json; charset=utf-8'\n   ```\n\n   _Replace `\u003cTIMER_SCREEN_SERVER\u003e` with the actual IP address and port of your TimerScreen server_\n  _Replace `sensor.echo_dot_next_timer` with the actual ID of the next timer entity in your Home Assistant instance_\n\n3. Create an automation that triggers when the state of your Echo device's next timer changes and then sends the active timers to the TimerScreen service.\n\n   ```yaml\n   alias: Show Alexa Timer on SmallTV\n   description: \"\"\n   triggers:\n     - trigger: state\n       entity_id:\n         - sensor.echo_dot_next_timer\n   conditions: []\n   actions:\n     - action: rest_command.smalltv_timerscreen\n   mode: single\n   ```\n\n   _Replace `sensor.echo_dot_next_timer` with the actual ID of the next timer entity in your Home Assistant instance_\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F3breadt%2Fsmalltvtimerscreen","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2F3breadt%2Fsmalltvtimerscreen","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2F3breadt%2Fsmalltvtimerscreen/lists"}
