DAKboard

Easy to setup and everything updates automatically.

Vorteile:

My kids were constantly asking me, "What are we doing tomorrow?", "Are we going anywhere?", "Is it going to rain?". I thought, I can just pull up this information on my phone, surely there's a way it can just be displayed on a screen somewhere for them to see. Yep, there is, and there are several options out there to do it. I picked DAKboard because it looked easy and had a free version. I tried it out on my computer and it worked great, so I went ahead and bought the "DAKboard CPU" which is a raspberry pi mini computer preloaded to run DAKboard on a screen. That came with 6 months of their premium service. The premium service has a bunch more customization options that were fun to play with. The only one we really ended up using was having our own Google Photos album as background images. After the 6 months ran out we went back to a free background of some nice landscapes. So for several months now, we have been using DAKboard to display the date, time, weather, sunrise/sunset, our family calendar, and the most recent memory verses using an RSS feed from our church's website.

Nachteile:

I think the only hiccups have been issues with our own internet service. I've been really hoping to see integration with Life360 so the kids can stop asking, "Where's mom?", "When will mom be home?" Several of us have requested that feature and we've heard they have been trying to connect with Life360 about it. But, DAKboard is actively adding new features on a regular basis.

DakBoard for your Smart Work/Home Dashboard

Kommentare: I love DakBoard for showing my work calendar on my screen. I integrated ToDoIst and can see the tasks I have to do and I use the touchscreen to check them off. Google photos rotate in the background and then my exteriors cameras can be accessed by a link I added to my screen. I love DakBoars. It’s so easy to use and very beautiful designs with a lot of functionality.

Vorteile:

First. DakBoard is beautiful and has great templates to choose from. You can have background photos and then add different style of calendars from big monthly, weekly, daily, and more. I like that you can integrate your google calendars, Apple calendar, and more to the calendar. There are many other functions that will integrate and you can add like ToDoIst, google photos, weather, and a lot more.

Nachteile:

I don’t like the small selection of templates to choose from. They need more of the beautiful templates.

Don't waste your money

Kommentare: Will never buy or recommend this product or company.

Vorteile:

Really nothing. I had so much trouble that it is hard to say something good.

Nachteile:

The fact that it would not work properly and when you tried to reach out for support there was not. The company made it very difficult to get help. Notice they do not have a phone number to call. They don't want to help.
