My School Menus TRMNL Plugin Integration

The My School Menus plugin for the TRMNL device provides a great example of the advantages that can arise when docs are treated like code.

My School Menus provides menu information for 1,680 school districts across the country. Because the menu information is stored in an accessible format, it can be easily extracted and displayed on the TRMNL. I use this plugin to show the family what's for hot lunch everyone morning. TRMNL displays the lunch informatino on a screen next to the weather and our daily calendar.

You can use the tool below to find the District, School, and Menu IDs needed to configure the TRMNL My School Menus recipe:

School Lookup Tool

  1. Search for your school district, then use the drop-down menu to select your school and the menu you want displayed.
  2. Copy the values and paste them into the School IDs field in the plugin settings page.
