Virtual-Window

A virtual window for a windowless basement.

PiWindow_Cropoped

Powered by a Raspberry Pi 4, this smart TV turned virtual window features the following:

  • Display real-time live feeds from any RTSP-enabled camera (yours or any other)
  • Display scenic video loops (e.g. beach, mountains, waterfall, etc.)
  • Control the feeds or video via local button control or via MQTT/Home Assistant
  • Removable cross-grid (muntin or mullion or whatever you call them), allows use as a regular smart TV when not in "window mode"

Full build instructions, parts list and more can be found on the Resinchem Tech Blog.

Details on installation of the software, button use and MQTT commands can be found in the wiki.
