E-Ink Display with Touch to use as a control panel?

[blank321]

Hi Yall,

I’m trying to create a display that shows a to-do list, where you can tap each item to cross them off, using E-Ink.

Is there any existing hardware you can use for this?

This can give you a lot of ideas to start from, whether a Kindle paper white or a more custom e-ink display with ESP32 attached:

Home Assistant dashboard on Kindle

Hi folks, I want to use an old Kindle to display a HA dashboard, similar to this, but with arbitrary data from HA. I do not want to click anything, I just want to show the status. The general idea: I configure a HA dashboard with the elements I want to have using puppeteer I render the web page and save it to a png file. Node.js serves the png file via HTTP. the Kindle downloads the png file using kite and shows it as screen saver. My problem right now is authenticating on the Web interface…

Thanks for the rec. I’m trying this project now actually! The reason I ask is because I’m not very good at home Assistant and was hoping somebody would have something a little bit more works-out-the-boc

I use a Samsung A7/A8 iPad like device I keep mounted to the wall. Easiest way to go is something that has a webpage, if you can build a webpage for what you want you can have pretty much anything show it.
