Fascinating platform, very interesting potential
For OpenEPaperLink Mini-AP v3 / zigbee<->wifi gateway
Up and running relatively easily and connected to Home Assistant via the community integration. These displays are quirky, mysterious, and the whole thing feels like a big hack (it is of course many layers of hacks piled on top of one another) but what a fun glimpse of the future! Easy to imagine a few generations of improvement in the software stack to make this sort of thing easy and ubiquitous. Seems underground and sneaky to use recycled price tags as part of home automation (this is more home awareness than automation but fits into the home automation ecosystem).
After a few evenings of fiddling I now have little signs on the dishwasher and laundry which show how long since they last ran, and a display on the night stand which says how long since we took the dog out (i.e. how long since the back door was opened). Working on a display for the kids' bath to remind them not to use too much hot water, and another to show the electricity rates alongside current consumption.
Don't forget to look for STL files in the openepaper GitHub and print your own tabletop stands and wall mounting brackets.
