... WOW

This is just amazing. You've basically built your own JARVIS, and I really want to know how much you would charge to replicate this ? ... its almost impossible to turn something so bespoke into a purchasable product, so I'll never be able to walk into a store and walk out with this entire thing, but its like art, you can pay the artist to make you one thats pretty similar since they know how to do it... I suppose that does open a more interesting question for the wider audience.

How much effort does it take to maintain this?

I have never considered product-izing it. I have no interest in doing so even as a one-off "art piece." And I don't know your net worth, but I doubt there is anybody on this green Earth that I would be willing to work with that could offer up a dollar amount that I'd be interested in. Besides, I'm currently building a task list, https://github.com/justinlloyd/retro-chores/ so have no time for an adventure - nasty, uncomfortable things that make you late for dinner.

With regard to maintenance, I don't know, I haven't touched it in months. Maybe every once in a while I get some weird, catastrophic failure of "I can no longer talk to the ambient screen, but I am still sending commands" and then I have to spend a half-day debugging what the issue is only to realize that the CNC in the workshop stole the IP address because I forgot to lock that IP to the device's MAC when I switched out the old screen for a new screen.
