Has anybody on here had an experiment with the supermarket tags?

My understanding is that you get a bunch of the tags, somehow get a base-station/transceiver working with them, and push data as images.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had a go. I quite fancy having some little displays around the house with useful info for the room.

    I have a few Pricer* ones and they’re a pita to use.

    Have to build an IR blaster to program them.

    You also can’t use them once the battery is flat or if you remove the battery because it uses volatile memory to store the firmware.

    Can you link a source where to buy them or a model? I don’t have any information. But I’d be interested, too.

        Thank you very much. That seems like a nice addition to my little smarthome. But there are quite a lot of options available. Maybe I can learn something, too. It’d be nice to push some messages through the house and have the weather and train delays available in the bathroom in the morning (for example).

          My first integration is going to be putting my standard “going out” dashboard by the front door.
          Being able to glance and see UV index, temperature, rain probability is dead useful.
