e-paper display
e-paper display linked with home assistant
less than a minute
Double e-paper display used to display various information and pictures, integrated with Home Assistant
I wanted a display which:
- does not consume (a lot of) electricity
- is linked with home-assistant, so I can get useful updates pending the moment of the day
- can display interesting photos, when I don’t want to know the status of my house / surroundings :)
- doesn’t cost an arm and a leg
The result of my tinkering can be seen in the picture above.
I’ve used two 7.5 inch e-paper displays and incorporated them into a picture frame. The reason for two dislays is mainly because larger e-papers just become very expensive. Obviously you don’t need two, if you don’t want to… .
