For the Echo Show 8 converted to Android and running HA that sits on the counter,
If you scroll down you can see a weather forecast, but we rarely use that. The radar is nice even though it takes a good bit of space on screen. I might shrink it to see how that works.
There are also two other menus available. One lets me reset various counters (for example after I've cleaned the pet fountain every 30 days), and the other gives access to thermostats. Both of those are rarely used.
Thanks for your respond. I like the idea of food planning :)
