Schedule & Display
Add a new display device
Hook a new TV, Raspberry Pi, or computer to your account so it joins the Active Displays list and starts getting content updates.
3 min
Before you start
- A device that can run a web browser (Smart TV, Pi, PC, tablet)
- Internet connection on that device
-
1
Power on the display device
Plug your TV, Raspberry Pi, or mini-PC into power and the screen over HDMI, and confirm it’s online (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) before moving on. -
2
Open a browser
On the device, open any modern browser — Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Edge, or the TV’s built-in one. Anything from the last couple of years is fine. -
3
Go to the launch URL
In the address bar, type:https://www.localbillboards.net/signin.php -
4
Sign in with the Launch Display card
Use the orange Launch Display card — not the blue Dashboard one. Sign in and the device registers itself to your account on that first login. -
5
Verify it appears in your dashboard
Back on your editing computer, open the dashboard and check the Active Displays list in the sidebar. The device should show up with a green dot and its IP within a minute. -
6
Set kiosk mode (optional)
For unattended screens, set the browser to auto-launch fullscreen at startup:
• Raspberry Pi: install Chromium and add@chromium-browser --kiosk https://www.localbillboards.net/signin.phpto~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart.
• Smart TV: bookmark the URL on the home screen.
• Windows / Mac: create a Chrome shortcut with--kiosk <URL>and add it to Startup / Login Items.
Tips & Common Issues
- •Each device is one display against your plan. If one won’t register, check your plan usage.
- •New devices read as "Unknown" with an IP until you rename them — click one in the sidebar to give it a friendly name.
- •Not showing after a minute? Sign out everywhere and back in to re-register cleanly.
- •Offline devices linger in the list — tidy up by removing them from Active Displays.
