iPad 2 - iOS 9.3.5 - Home Dashboard?

[Marty McFly]

I would like to re-purpose an old iPad 2 with iOS 9.3.5 as a wall mounted “home dashboard” sort of thing. I am not really looking to control home automation but rather have a bunch of different info widgets....

• News feed
• Weather
• Traffic
• Possibly a radio widget?
• Possibly a shortcut to dads location
• Possibly a shortcut to moms location
• Doorbell camera preview.

Is this even possible? If anyone can provide any tips as to how I may achieve this, I would really appreciate it!! My first thought was to jailbreak the iPad and use a whole bunch of home-screen widgets (which I can make with HTML, JavaScript, css, etc.). Thanks all! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
