Overview​

The Random plugin generates fresh values on a configurable interval:

  • Pick a random item from your own list of 2–10 choices
  • Built-in coin flip (Heads or Tails)
  • Random board color as a rendered tile or as a color name
  • Values re-roll at your configured refresh interval (default: every 60 seconds)

Setup​

  1. Open http://localhost:4420
  2. Go to the Integrations page
  3. Toggle Random on
  4. Click Configure to set your choices list and refresh interval

Random requires no external service or API key. All values are generated locally.
