Your screens, remotely managed.
DisplayOps turns a Raspberry Pi into a managed display for websites, dashboards, kiosks, and always-on screens. No Linux, no kiosk flags, no SSH. Flash it, pair it, tell it what to show.

From blank Pi to live screen in three steps
If a technical user needs documentation to keep a URL on a screen, the setup is too complicated. So we removed the setup.
- 1
Flash
Write the DisplayOps image to a microSD card. It boots straight into the player. Nothing to configure.
- 2
Pair
The screen shows a short code and a QR code. Enter it in the portal, name the screen, done.
- 3
Display
Pick a website, dashboard, image, video, slideshow, or message. The screen updates immediately.
Tell a screen what to show. That is the whole job.
Opening and keeping a URL alive is the first-class workflow, not a content type bolted onto a signage editor.
Website or dashboard
Any URL. Grafana, Home Assistant, status pages, internal tools. Refresh intervals and rotation included.
Image
Menus, notices, welcome screens. Upload once, show on any screen.
Video
Looping video, cached on the device so it keeps playing offline.
Slideshow
Rotate several URLs or images with a per-item duration.
Message
Large text with your colours. Useful for emergencies and overrides.
Schedule
Start and end times, days of the week, screen-on hours.
The screen is the product. So we manage the screen.
Cheap hardware only works at scale when problems are diagnosable from a browser. Every display reports its health, and every fix is one click or one API call.
See the device, not just the content
CPU temperature, storage, memory, Wi-Fi signal, HDMI state, browser health, agent version, uptime, and a live screenshot for every screen.
Fix it from your desk
Refresh the page, restart the player, reboot the device, or capture a screenshot. Every action is logged with who did it and when.
Recover without a human
A watchdog restarts a hung browser. Content is cached locally. A device that loses power boots straight back into service and converges to its desired state.
Automate it
Every action in the portal is available in the API. Webhooks fire on online, offline, and health events so your own systems can react.
# Point a screen at a dashboard
$ curl -X POST $API/displays/dsp_8k2m/content \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
-d '{"type":"website",
"url":"https://grafana.internal/d/ops"}'
{ "ok": true, "state": "converging" }

}Three ways to put a dashboard on a wall
| DIY Raspberry Pi kiosk | Digital signage platform | DisplayOps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Scripts, Chromium flags, autostart files | Templates, campaigns, playlists to learn | Flash, pair, paste a URL |
| Change the URL | SSH or a keyboard | Edit a playlist item | Portal or one API call |
| Browser crashes | Someone notices eventually | Varies by player | Watchdog restarts it, you get an event |
| Device health | Whatever you script | Online / offline | CPU, storage, Wi-Fi, HDMI, browser, logs |
| Pricing | Your weekends | $8 to $30 per screen per month | Flat plans from $0 for 3 screens |
| Hardware | Anything, unsupported | Often a proprietary player | Your Pi 4 / Pi 5, tested image |
Flat plans. Small fleets stay cheap and predictable.
Website displays cost almost nothing to run, so we do not charge as if they did.
Personal
3 displays
Homelab, one office dashboard, proof of value.
Plus
10 displays
Home power users and micro-businesses.
Fleet
50 displays
Small organisations and technical teams.
Fleet+
200 displays
Larger SMB and MSP deployments.
Where a managed display beats a DIY kiosk
Raspberry Pi kiosk mode, without the scripts
Developers, IT generalists, and anyone who has ever maintained a hand-rolled kiosk.
Turn a Raspberry Pi into a managed dashboard display
Homelabs, small ops teams, and offices with a wall monitor nobody wants to babysit.
Grafana wallboards and TV dashboards that stay up
DevOps and SRE teams, NOCs, and anyone running Grafana, Prometheus, or Kibana dashboards.
A Home Assistant wall display that just works
Home Assistant users and smart-home builders.
Remote kiosk management without enterprise pricing
Small businesses, agencies, and MSPs with a handful of kiosks per customer.
A managed browser for the screen on the wall
Teams displaying internal web apps, status pages, queue boards, and KPI views.
Always-on web dashboards, without the babysitting
Founders, ops leads, and team managers.
A simpler alternative to Raspberry Pi digital signage
Small businesses, clubs, nonprofits, and vacation rentals.
Common questions
Do I need to know Linux to use this?
No. You flash the image, plug the Pi into a screen and network, and the screen shows a pairing code. Everything after that happens in the portal. There is no shell, no config file, and no kiosk flags to set.
What hardware do you support?
Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB or more) and Raspberry Pi 5 today. A generic Linux/x86 player is next. We keep the supported list short on purpose so every combination is actually tested.
Is this digital signage?
Not really. Signage products are built around campaigns, templates, and playlists. DisplayOps is built around the screen itself: keeping a URL, dashboard, or simple content live and recoverable. If you need a design suite, we are not it.
Can it show a dashboard that needs a login?
Public and token-based dashboards work today, which covers most Grafana, Home Assistant, and status-board setups. Managed authenticated sessions are on the roadmap and are being treated as a deliberate security project, not a checkbox.
What happens when the internet drops?
The device keeps showing what it has, caches web and media content locally where it can, and reconnects on its own. You see the offline event in the portal and the screen converges to the desired state when it is back.
How is pricing counted?
By plan, not per screen. Pick the tier that fits your fleet size. Website displays are effectively free to run; heavy video across many screens is covered by fair-use limits so the price can stay flat.
Can I control screens from my own systems?
Yes. The API and webhooks are first-class. Change a URL from a CI job, rotate dashboards from a script, or push an emergency message from an alert.
Connect a screen. Tell it what to display. We keep it running.
Three displays are free. No card, no sales call, no signage jargon.
