Display on dedicated PC

Install a mini-PC (Raspberry Pi 4/5, Intel NUC, Beelink, etc.) connected to the waiting room TV. The mini-PC does nothing but show the yourturn display.

Advantages over shared PC

• Does not depend on the front desk PC (if they turn it off, the display keeps running).
• No interference with the operator's work.
• Can be hidden behind the TV.

Recommended hardware

Installation steps

1. Create the display in the app

Displays → New Display

• Name and Location (e.g. "Waiting room").
• Display language and Voice language (the speaker button plays a sample announcement on the computer you're configuring from).
• Voice speed: slower if the room is noisy or the speakers are far away.
• Services to show: tick the services whose tickets will appear on this display.

Save and click the "Open display public view" icon in the list: copy the address that opens (https://yourturn.space/?display=ID).

2. Set up the mini-PC (Windows)

1. Connect the mini-PC to the TV via HDMI.
2. Connect to the network (Ethernet preferred over WiFi for stability).
3. Install Chrome if not present.
4. Configure Chrome in kiosk mode on startup:

Create a shortcut in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\:

Target: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required "https://yourturn.space/?display=ID" --disable-infobars --noerrdialogs

1. In Windows Settings → Accounts → Automatic login (no password).

2b. Set up the mini-PC (Raspberry Pi OS)

On Raspberry Pi OS with desktop, edit ~/.config/autostart/display.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=yourturn Display
Exec=chromium-browser --kiosk --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --disable-infobars --noerrdialogs "https://yourturn.space/?display=ID"

Disable screensaver and screen blanking:

sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
# Add:
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank

2c. Set up with Android TV box

1. Connect the Android TV box to the TV via HDMI.
2. Connect to WiFi.
3. Install Chrome or use the built-in browser.
4. Navigate to https://yourturn.space/?display=ID.
5. Enable full screen from the gear icon.
6. Use an automation app (like "AutoStart" or "Tasker") to open the URL on boot.

3. Verify

Restart the mini-PC. It should boot directly into the full-screen display with sound.

Remote management (recommended)

Install RealVNC or enable SSH to access the mini-PC remotely if something fails, without traveling to the customer.

# Raspberry Pi — enable SSH
sudo systemctl enable ssh
sudo systemctl start ssh
