Locally Stored Web Page That Receives Scheduled Refreshes
Posted: Wed May 24, 2017 11:20 pm
Hello everyone!
First time poster here. In short I am brainstorming for a project that I need a customizable web page that will be always on and display embedded content (calendar, maps, weather) I would like to refresh it every few minutes or so. I am mounting a monitor and pi to my wall. My question is, is it possible to store a web page locally for say chrome that contains the spacing, embed code, and login information l can customize and have automatically refresh? If so what program do I use to write, store, and que up the info? I don't want to pay to host a site and I would like the site to be off the beaten path so it's secure and only accessible by me and the device that I intend to view it on. Is there an easier way to achieve these results? I would like to have Google maps traffic, Google calendar, weather underground forecast, and maybe some other pertinent info. How can someone have things like this display in an always on fashion and control the refresh rate of the information? I know that's a few questions but any info, advice, or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read!
