We are using several Chromeboxes/Chromebits to run digital signage in our schools. I recently had a situation where I needed to update the screens quickly. I can reboot the devices individually from the management console. Is there a command that could be used to reboot from GAM? I would like to set up a bulk command to reboot all of our devices so they receive the update within seconds.

There is no public API to send reboot commands to devices thus there's no way for GAM to do it.

Why not use like a Raspberry Pi for this?

I have 4 digital signs that are powered by a Raspberry Pi Ws that boot into Chrome and run a Google slide show. Real easy to manage as you can use webadmin or ssh or even VNC to get into them.

Josh (and anyone else)

Can you provide more details on your use of Chromeboxes/Chromebits for digital signage??  I've got 8 46" TV's mounted around our school, all connected to our network.  These are older Sony GoogleTV's so we've been using the built in apps to run content independently for each TV.

How can use Chromeboxes/Chromebits to 'centrallize' the content over my TV's?

Thanks so much!!

We use Chrome Sign Builder with Chromeboxes for digital signs.

They run in Kiosk mode with whatever refresh interval you set on the content.
