Has anyone managed to get apprise enabled apps to send a notification to an oled/lcd display at all?
I would love to be able to have a small status led/OLED display on a headless system that uses apprise and spi so notification/log data could be sent via apprise to the small/mini display.
Apprise sends messages as a client to notification services, i.e. to services that listen on a network port. LCD/OLEDs are passive components without a network stack, so they won’t be able to receive anything via network.
Agreed, apologies it was late when I posted that!
What I was wondering if anyone had come across the listening service side of the setup, that listens and outputs to the displays? So apprise → unknown/new service → display via i2c library etc?
There are many examples/frameworks on how to write your own service, see for example Welcome to Flask — Flask Documentation (3.1.x). From apprise side, you need to define a custom notification for that case.
Writing to the OLED using I2C (or to a TFT using SPI) is also simple, here again you can find many libraries and examples. Your service would take the data and then feed whatever is sent to the respective methods.
