School screens students actually read
Show cancelled lessons, room changes and substitutes in the hallway, straight from Zermelo. Put a door sign at every classroom and the free rooms by the study area. TVpilot keeps every screen in every building up to date, so nobody has to print a changes list again.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
Students crowd around one changes list that was already out of date at 08:15.
Timetable changes come live from Zermelo, grouped per lesson hour, class or teacher. A change for today is on the hallway screens within about a minute, and past hours drop off by themselves.
Students with a free period wander the corridors looking for an empty room.
The Free rooms board shows which classrooms are free right now and until when. A door sign at each room shows the lesson now, the next one and the rest of the day.
In an evacuation you cannot reach every corridor and canteen at once.
The red Emergency alert button puts one message full screen on every screen of a building within seconds, over whatever is playing. Pick Evacuate or write your own.
Real screens, ready to use
Every screen below is a live plugin or a design you make in minutes. Mix them in one playlist, or give each screen its own.

Frequently asked questions
How does TVpilot connect to Zermelo?
Your school connects its Zermelo portal once through Zermelo's official API, under Beheer > Partners, with read-only rights you grant. Schools without the Partners menu use an API user.
Does the screen show student data?
No. Student names and student data are never read. Teacher codes and timetabler remarks can be hidden per screen.
How quickly do changes reach the screens?
Changes for today appear within about a minute of saving them in Zermelo, changes for later days within about five minutes.
Can the screen tell us when to air a classroom?
The air quality plugin shows the outdoor air and the best moment to air the rooms. It cannot measure CO2 inside a classroom; that needs a CO2 sensor in the room itself.
How does an emergency alert work?
Press the red Emergency alert button, choose Evacuate, Fire, Temporarily closed or your own message, and pick a location, a tag or screens. With Turn TVs on, a Raspberry Pi switches a TV in standby on. Editors and up can start it.
What does it cost for a school?
Zermelo and the emergency alert are Premium. Pro is €29 per month with 10 screens and every Premium feature. Starter is €5 per month for 3 screens plus €9 for the Premium add-on. Extra screens are €2 per month. Prices exclude VAT.
