Has Anyone Used BrightSign for an Interactive Electricity Bill Calculator?

Hi everyone,

I’m experimenting with BrightSign for a project related to LESCO electricity bills, and I’m trying to figure out the simplest way to make it work.

I run lescoebill.org, where I have a LESCO Bill Calculator that lets users enter their electricity units and get an estimated bill.

I was thinking about taking a simplified version of this calculator and putting it on a BrightSign display.

The idea is pretty straightforward:

Enter units → calculate estimated bill → show the result.

I’d also like to have a small QR code on the screen so someone who wants more details can scan it and open the full calculator on the website.

I’m not planning to build a complicated kiosk or anything at this stage. I mainly want to know what would be the most reliable BrightSign approach for something like this.

For example, would you recommend:

• Running a lightweight HTML/JavaScript calculator directly on the player?
• Loading the calculator as a web page?
• Keeping the tariff/calculation data in a JSON file and updating it when needed?
• Using BrightSign's local storage so the calculator still works if the internet goes down?

The offline part is particularly important to me. Electricity tariffs can also change, so I’d prefer not to rebuild the whole presentation every time I need to update the calculation.

If anyone has built an interactive HTML tool, calculator, kiosk, or similar application on BrightSign, I’d appreciate any practical advice on how you approached it.

I’m still learning BrightSign, so I’m more interested in a simple and reliable solution than an overly technical setup.

Thanks!
