I made this E-ink display for my computer desk setup as an Always On display to show me information such as the date, time, weather, HDMI settings, USB settings, and CPU/GPU/Memory temperature information.
You can see a demonstration of the E-ink Display on YouTube: The E-ink Desk Accessory.
This E-ink display has ESPHome installed and retrieves all live data (timesync, weather, etc..) directly from the Home Assistant (HA) server. Only code for the E-ink display (ESPHome) has been provided. The following integrations/services were used on HA for their respective data:
- ESPHome (HA Integration)
- OpenWeather (HA Integration)
- Yahoo Finance (HACS Component)
- Libre Hardware Monitor (Software on PC)
- My DIY Macropad
- LilyGo T5 4.7" Epaper (Old Version Used, NOT New V2.3)
- Remixed 3D Printed Case based on this 3D Model
I referred to the following (and more) to get this working.
