Signage devices & power

[NeilEmery]

Hello - Neil Emery from TrilbyTV here. I'll send you a DM and let's have a chat about what our other schools are using and cover some suggestions for your current requirements. Sorry to hear you are having player issues but thank you for sticking with it and your positive comments on our digital signage platform :-) Neil

Well, quite happy with the Tapo smart plug. Obviously a little bit of a work-around having to install the app on an android device but that's still frankly less work-aroundy than anything Apple have ever done for edu/business. Time will tell on reliability, but plenty of scheduling options and an easy way to manually turn off/on without taking out ceiling tiles

It's great to hear TrilbyTV being mentioned lots of times so thank you to all using our digital signage platform. We started TrilbyTV from scratch 10 years ago after seeing TV screens in schools receptions turned off. We only focus on the UK education market and the product is developed from feedback our UK customers provide us with. If anyone is interested in a demo with me then you can sign up here - http://www.trilbytv.co.uk/demo. You will get me for the demo as I like to deliver from a director/founder level. Thank you all again and I hope I'm ok positing this. Have good Fridays and weekends - Neil

For remote power cycling, we've just bought a couple of PoE USB C splitters to try:

We use Raspberry Pis around quite a big site for a variety of purposes. Plan would be to disable and re-enable ports on the switch. Working well so far [emoji1696]
