Kitchen countertop project

I installed the weather forecast dashboard on a Raspberry Pi W and mounted it behind a 7" display

Tips for Raspberry Pi below

Tip 1: Disable screen saver.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install unclutter
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
use the xscreensaver gui to disable the screen saver

Tip 2: Run chromium in full screen

chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk {pathToYour_index.html_file}
example: chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk file:///boot/WeatherForecastDashboard/index.html

Tip 3: Autostart and boot directly to WeatherForecastDashboard

sudo mkdir -p /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi
sudo cp /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/
sudo nano /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

add these lines to the autostart file:
@chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk {pathToYour_index.html_file}
@unclutter -idle 0.1 -root

sudo reboot

Tip 4: To quit chromium

When it is in kiosk mode, press the command key to show the start menu
