The main part is the RP4 with the Nginx webserver, where you can find the Sqlite database and the Baikal calender programm. On the RP4 webserver is a webside hosted where the whole communication is taking place. The RP3 Client which is installed in the living area is basically a monitor working in the kiosk mode. Basically we are using the monitor for  reading calender days, for checking the in- and outdoor temperature and the indoor air quality such as the reading of the watertemperature . If the watertemperature for taking a shower is too cold, the water can get warmed up by pushing the bottom "extra loading" (Extra Charge) in the ETA menue. The heating is reacting derectly and will go on. After three minutes of inactivity, the screen saver turns on and shows family and vacation pictures. (The pictures can be set in by choice so you can choose what kind of albums you want to show off) Instead of Telegram it is over the "Matrix client Element additionally possible to have a video call". For every interested person ive made a support group at matrix.org. All you need to do is to install the matrix-client App on your smart phone or Pc and you can get started.  The room is to find under: #aew-sinus:matrix.org
