I have a e-ink screen next to my office door that displays the date, or a warning icon when I'm in a meeting. It uses the "camera in use"/"microphone in use" entity from the desktop app for meeting detection.
My kids really like it.
What did you use for your screen? I've been interested in something like this.
It's a 4.2 inch e-ink screen from waveshare driven by an ESP running ESPHome. Nothing fancy, really. I used to change it "manually", but the lightbulb moment happened when I realized I had the entities I needed in the HA desktop app.
