[Feature Request] Add coffee quotes when machine is sleeping

[csobrinho]

Describe the feature

I was playing around the bambulab printer and I noticed the "soft/funny" little messages they display in the screen when it's in standby. Kinda of like: we are here, come play with us.

Maybe it could be a funny PR to add, get some coffee inspired jokes and sentences and just round robin every n seconds on the screen below the GaggiMate logo.

We could even allow the text to come from mqtt or home assistant so that we could say "Good Morning X" or "Coffee Delicious machine!" Or even the machine "serial number".

Thoughts?

Why is this feature useful?

To be honest, I think it would make the machine more funny, especially when we wake up at 7am, it could put a small smile 😀

For the Serial Number display, it could create some sense of pride.

How complex is this feature?

Medium - Requires some changes

Additional context

Happy to try to have a stab at the PR if there is interest.

Also feel free to add as a comment what these sentences should be!

Instead of pre-loading the software with quotes, how about periodically calling an AI API instead with a custom query.

• "Tell me a coffee related joke in one sentence"
• "What is the weather forecast in x"
• "If there is a new version of GiggiMate, list it's new features. If not, summarise what has been happening on their Discord."

[jniebuhr]

I don't think the software should be calling all that many web services.

[0xStuart]

It would be one API call not many. That's the beauty of it. The user writes in plain English what they want, and let the AI Chat-bot return what to display.

Then nobody will bug you ever again about what to put on the display. 😆
