    I’m about to build my first Pi project and I want to build a “thing” that displays my daily schedule. But I want it to hang outside my office door so when my calendar says I’m “busy” it will display something of a Do No Disturb sign or a come in if my calendar shows I’m available. I’m plagued by people always interrupting my groove. I just wonder if there’s a way to this.    I like what he said at the beginning  about it being over engineered.    because the obvious solution is to go hang a DND sign on my door knob...but where’s the frustration I mean fun in that?
