1WifiStatus.py by RaddedMC [1x1]

1WifiStatus Icons folder in Plugins/ directory
- Copy the plugin and '1WifiStatus Icons' folder into your Plugins/ directory

No wifi!error and actually have wifi, change theinterfaceoverridevalue on line 22 of the Python file.
As this is a 1x1 plugin, it could show up in the top right corner of your time bar. If your time text is cut off, make sure to adjust the scale value in config.cfg.
This plugin is still quite experimental. There are some issues with the pychromecast library that we haven't yet optimized for. If SmartFrame crashes or takes longer than usual to generate an image, this plugin is most likely the culprit.
This plugin scans your network for Google Cast capable devices (Chromecast, Google/Nest Home, Devices with Chromecast built-in, etc.) and if they are playing something -- the plugin will display play state info (app name, song name, playing/paused state, etc.)

Uses SFTP to grab a random photo from a networked file server and displays it on your SmartFrame.
pip install paramiko
- Copy this plugin into your Plugins/ directory
- Enter the following information into the variables on line 13 and below:
-
sshIP: The local IP address of your server -
sshUsername: The username you wish to use to log into that server -
sshPWD: That user's password- Note: This password will be stored in plain text! I highly recommend creating a special user that has read-only access to ONLY the specific folder you want to view. I am aware that storing passwords and API keys in plain text is stupid. Let me know if you want a more secure option and I'll build one!
-
sshPath: The file path on the server that you want to grab photos from- Note: You don't need to escape spaces as the code will handle that on its own. If you don't understand what this means, ignore this message.
