I Replaced My Kitchen Clock With a Raspberry Pi

I replaced my old under-cabinet kitchen clock with a DIY Raspberry Pi smart display that shows the time and weather at a glance. Here’s how to build your own under-cabinet Raspberry Pi clock and weather display. When I bought my house, it came with one of those under-cabinet radio clocks that somehow survived the early 2000s. It technically worked… until power outages and daylight saving time reminded me it absolutely did not. So I replaced it with something better. This DIY smart home display runs on a Raspberry Pi, uses an affordable ultra-wide screen, and is designed to live under a cabinet so it’s always visible but never in the way. No touchscreen. No voice assistant. No app. Just the time and weather when you glance up. The best part? You can build one too. This project uses a simple install script, a 3D-printed case, and modular weather icons and backgrounds so you can customize the look to match your space. It supports both Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm and Trixie. 🔧 Project Files & Guide GitHub: https://github.com/Canterrain/weather-display STL files for the Wisecoco display case: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2394718-under-cabinet-weather-clock-case#profileId-2623970 STL files for the SCXryllexa display case: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2483526-under-cabinet-weather-clock-case-other-display 🛠 Parts Used - Raspberry Pi 4: https://seeedtechnologycoltd.sjv.io/B55jrB (affiliate) - or - Raspberry Pi 5: https://seeedtechnologycoltd.sjv.io/n44aGV (affiliate) - Raspberry Pi Power Supply: https://amzn.to/3MvrPBF (affiliate) - Wisecoco HDMI display: https://amzn.to/4cuofSN (affiliate) -- Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter for Wiseicoco option: https://amzn.to/3ZyFOJZ (affiliate) Note: the Display comes with the microUSB and HDMI cable you need. EDIT FURTHER NOTE: I've had lots of reports of the Wisecoco screen arriving defective, which really sucks. The following is an alternative touchscreen with slightly different dimensions that is confirmed as working. I've created an alternative 3D print for to fit it as well. - SCXryllexa HDMI Touch Display: https://amzn.to/3MJLldR (affiliate) - Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter for SCXryllexia screen: https://amzn.to/3N53Vgs (affiliate) - 3D Printer: https://amzn.to/4aAA6xq (affiliate) - filament: https://amzn.to/4tArbn9 (affiliate) Notes on potential Raspberry Pi options: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (Bookworm only, 64-bit recommended) - Not recommended for Trixie (Wayland) - Requires a different HDMI adapter and a dedicated power supply for the display Raspberry Pi 3B ((Bookworm only, 64-bit recommended) - Probably will run, probably will be sluggish 🎨 Icon Packs & Backgrounds Patreon and YouTube channel members get the extra icons for free!
