Hi Guys,

I think it would be excellent if there was a way to display data (text messages would be fine) on the LCD panels potentially as an extra 'slide' in the slideshow page listing.

Simple use cases for this:
- show how many connected hotspot users there are
- show how many wireless clients are connected
- custom script to visually indicate if a pppoe client was offline
- show most recent log entry or error

Advanced use cases:
- permit display of graphs + text + custom button functions
While I am aware that RouterOS is not a washing machine I feel there is merit in being able to add further functionality to the screens, I imagine some smaller providers might find that the ability to generate a user-manager prepaid code with the touch of a button would be handy too.. but lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

MT: Is there any plans for such a feature?
Others: Would you use such a feature? How?

Additionally, the ability to:
a) Set which screen is currently displayed on the LCD screen
b) lock the screen to ignore any physical input
(so for example if you wanted to leave it on the informative slideshow and not permit anyone to modify this)

+1 like on custom button and custom text. I want to do hotspot ticket printing.

You can already reboot the router, I know, but it would be nice to be able to shut it down properly as well...

+1 like on custom button and custom text.
I work for a fiber ISP and if we could write a script to show if the SFP is down, then the client can tell us what the LCD says and we can immediately contact the fiber provider as the issue is almost never on the router itself.

Also, I think if this could become a feature, the possibilities are endless
