The Pi-plate: An Interactive Raspberry Pi Driven Nameplate

I\'ve recently been thinking of a few different projects around my home to build some sort of "kiosk" to display information. An example of this is a display for some SmartThings sensors I have around the house, another is calendar information by the door instead of the traditional paper calendar we have. Before I go all in and try to accomplish any of these, I wanted to build a basic proof of concept.
