Boox Color E-Ink devices

So I’ve been contemplating this idea for quite some time and thought I would ask if anybody has attempted similar. Specifically thinking about purchasing a Boox Go Color 7 color e-ink reader. It can technically surf internet…therefore it can get to home assistant.

So my intent is to mount it to a wall, preferably with a little solar panel. Thinking a little standoff bracket bezel device, and solar panels around the edge. Since the e-ink draws such little power, it should be ok to charge indefinitely at a low rate via solar.

Imagine the LCARS skin on a color e-ink tablet stuck to the wall.

It would be glorious.

Keep us posted when you try this out! I’d love to see some photos and demos.

Also, what are your thoughts/reasons for the Boox Go Color 7? I have heard that the Bigme B751C is dimmer but has better ghosting control. Specifically, that is what I believe is being used in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/19205dy/10_interactive_home_assistant_eink_dashboard/
