Story

Welcome to the Project SmartFrane! This program is designed to grab your favourite data from all over the internet (weather, Smarthome/IoT, Spotify, Chromecast, etc) and display it in a neatly formatted image.

You can use SmartFrame to send data to displays like a digital photo frame, and any other internet-connected device with a display that is capable of running Python. See it in action here!

Please note that while this project is functional, it is still a work in progress. More features and plugins are being worked on daily!
