Very neat. I work for a small manufacturer and wanted to implement LED signage like i had at my old gig: show machine speed, job info, etc.
But the signs we used before were serial with ethernet converters that were pretty fragile and as the sole contributor i dont want that hanging over my head.
Are there larger forms of these signs available? I understand TVs are trivially expensive at this point but theres something about the brightness and design of LED displays that seems uniquely better in the manufacturing space.
I picked up one of the cheap 32x32 Bluetooth displays for a few bucks at a thrift store recently, and have had a lot of fun with it, but the upload speed makes it unsuitable for any frequent updates. Does the WiFi version solve that?
I think some displays allow fast enough updates for that. But the early versions of the Divoom didn't have enough docs and/or had broken firmware and wouldn't show any custom gifs I sent it. But it's been working great for me for a few years now as a wall clock/weather display.

Finally got around to writing it about this yesterday, actually. https://ryanmpoe.com/2026-01-03-weather-pixel-art/
Happy coincidence, OP!
