Simple Message

Displays a message on the board. To do this, send the content of the message to :prefix/message.

Today

Displays today's day of the week and the date. Can optionally be extended with the temperature and the probability of rain.

Activated with a message to :prefix/today. The weather data can either be sent as JSON ({"temp": [16, 28], "precip": 5}) or set individually (e.g. :prefix/today/min-temp or :prefix/today/precip).

Calendar

Displays the next entries for one or more selected calendars. Calendars are set in the file beforehand. The calendar is activated with :prefix/calendar, specifying the list of calendars to be viewed, comma-separated.

If there are no entries for the current day, the display of Today (see above) is output.
