Site Map 'Remote Display Options'
We are requesting an easy way to have the Foreman site map up on a display so that employees can visibly see when they walk into the/an office what our overall site(s) health is; we don’t want to have to sign into it every morning with 2FA, we don’t want to have to refresh it manually, we just need a refreshing digital copy of a site map we can put up on a wall and not have to touch it. We have a current messy setup to make it work for now displaying all of our sitemap greatly zoomed out on a spare Windows device at our central office, but a simple application you could sign into (once) on a smart TV with a ‘view-only’ foreman account tied to our sites that then only displayed our site map (By HashRate) would be very useful and I think fairly straight forward to implement.
I’m not sure if this is the case for the average user, but we have in our instance 5 main ‘sites’ (Labled Site1 through Site5) within our site map and we expand all 5 on our custom display at the office for quick review of our health. We would like to then have a digital display at each of the 5 PHYSICAL sites which would only show a ‘higher resolution’ output of that particular site expanded.
For an example of what we’d like to see, our Site3 site would have a smart TV setup with this app signed into a ‘Remote Display Only’ account, and within that application we would have our Site3 site map expanded and sorted by hashrate, so when you walked into the site office you could see a quick overview of the health of the site, and plan accordingly i.e. “Oh, we have a chunk of miners not producing in this module, I will start there today”.
We understand we can ‘do this already' by setting up monitors/TVs and connecting them to computers/etc, but the request is for a quick and easy smart TV app or a similar quick/cheap solution so that we don’t have to purchase an entire mini PC or use a spare laptop to get a display up and then write custom code for it to replicate the sign in process/etc in the case of a power or network outage. The overall process should be:
1. Setup display
2. Setup Network for display
3. Install/Open ‘Foreman Site MApp’ (Free app name for you)
4. Sign in with a dedicated “Remote Display Only” account tied to your Foreman data
5. Select Full Site map or select individual parts of Site Map
6. Leave alone forever
Hell, even if you sold a ~$500 device yourselves with the display all in one, I'd buy it for the convenience if it worked.
