The MorningInfo app running on the clock. Showing gas percentage and time to work.

Background

When I wake up in the morning I want to know three things. The weather, how much gas is in my car, and the time it takes to get to work.

I have an Amazon Echo so most of this information can be queried with my voice. But that requires three separate requests. I wanted this information to be glanceable.

I thought about buying an LED panel and connecting it to a Raspberry Pi. Luckily, a company named LaMetric created a connected clock that allows you to display information on an LED panel. So I ordered a LaMertic Time. Two days later it arrived (Thanks Amazon Prime!) and I began implementing my idea.
