waterproof/outside screen?

(1/1)

knighty:
I've got homeassistant up and running monitoring freezer temperatures

LED bulbs changing colours as a warning.... but I'd like to add a few screens displaying the temperatures

in the office and tea room I can just use any old cheap pc, outside is a bit more tricky

anyone have any ideas?  only needs to display a simple web page... but needs to be waterproof....

I could mount something inside a box... but then I'd need to worry about airflow?

I'm pretty sure you can get waterpoof cases for tablets, if its just a webpage you're interested in then a cheap old POS tablet and a waterproof case won't set you back much at all. At worst you might need to cut a hole to duct tape a charger cable to it.

knighty:
thinking about a tablet, they put out so little heat I could probably get away with sealing one inside a box?

Clock'd 0Ne:
Absolutely, you'd have no problem. My boy's Kindle Kids is surrounded with thick rubbery plastic and he watches YT on it all day, never overheats.

I've got some POE to usb adapters to charge things from the poe network... might just use that to charge it :-)
