  • Lol, seems like they had some trouble over trademarks or something

  • This may be totally off base from what you’re targeting, but maybe an ESP32 running ESPHome and connected to an E-Ink display such as those sold by Waveshare? https://esphome.io/components/display/waveshare_epaper/ You would probably need some separate system set up to actually generate the content displayed on the screen, depending on what exactly you want to show. It would require a fair amount of work, but would likely be the cheapest and most flexible option.

    There’s a feature in ESPHome which allows the device to call a URL to download an image at specified intervals, then display it on an attached screen https://esphome.io/components/online_image/#online_image which would require running a service somewhere that generates/renders a new image at regular intervals and makes it available for download via a local URL. For just simple text, I assume there’s a simpler way to update what the device shows over the network.



















  • Yeah, that’s a fair point, I’m just wary of sinking time into using a project with a single developer, a hazy future and no way of reporting issues. I don’t blame them for not providing that level of support, of course, but I’d rather stick to projects that are more mature or have more resources behind them.

    Edit: I see there’s actually been a number of different contributors, but based on the tone of the announcement in Dec, I just don’t think it’s something I would want to rely on
