I would be interested in hearing about what kind of "programming" you considered for the "Home". I have been over-ambitiously thinking about a project like this (been calling it my "Building X" project) using an RPi and small screen in the window. I was planning to basically run a soap opera, where the system would usually run idle loops (like a screensaver[1]) but elements of plot could play occasionally when a presence detector verified someone was around to watch. I was envisioning users being able to subscribe to the type of story they wanted to see; murder mystery, rom-com, scifi, etc. Unfortunately I'm a hardware guy, not a TV producer so I never got anywhere.

The frosted windows and NeoPixels are brilliant!

Oh, it's a simple state machine with the "person" having a probability to go from a room to the next every few seconds. I also compressed the first X minutes of some Disney movie to single pixels for the "TV" colors, and a fireplace video (I think) for the "fireplace" colors.

The source is linked in the video, I'm sure, so you can have a look if you want.
