The Problem
WhatsApp Powered
Add the board to your family WhatsApp group. Every message flips onto your wall with the clacking sound. No app. No account. Your family already has WhatsApp — that's all they need.
Morning Glance
Not raw data, actionable advice. Every morning, free weather API, zero configuration.
Family Game Night
All from the group chat. Type “wordle” in the group. The board starts a game. Green, yellow, grey flaps reveal each letter.
Eight games built in, plus a family leaderboard.
Live Sport
Live scores on match day. The board updates automatically — every goal flips onto your wall. No phone, no app, no refreshing. Just glance up.
Board Linking
Link your board to grandma's. Type “send to grandma we love you” in your group — it flips onto her wall. She doesn't need to check her phone. It just appears.
Cross-house Wordle. Cross-house trivia. Or just a message that makes her smile.
More Features
Follow your team. Live scores on match day.
The board is the bad guy, not the parents.
Never miss bin day. Right bin, right colour.
Detects birthdays. Celebrates all day.
A new word every morning at breakfast.
Can't decide? The board spins and picks.
Shows events 30 minutes before.
Curated quote every evening.
Who's won the most games this month?
Setup
Pi 5 + case + PSU + HDMI cable. About £85 from any retailer.
Everything pre-configured. Slot in, plug into TV, power on.
The board creates a setup hotspot. Connect and enter your password.
Link a cheap PAYG SIM with a pairing code. One minute.
Add the board's number to your family group. Done.
