Hi everyone,
I’d like to share yet another e‑paper project: E‑Paper Dashboard. It is an open‑source project that converts Home Assistant dashboards into display‑ready images for ESP32 e‑paper modules. It runs in home network and does not require complicated setup.
What makes it handy:
-
No flashing is required — simply update the Home Assistant dashboard, and the solution will handle the rest seamlessly through the software and firmware.
-
Deep-sleep friendly — this project enables you to schedule wake-fetch-sleep cycles, ensuring that updates occur periodically while minimizing power consumption. This feature allows the device to operate on battery power for extended periods.
-
Local network — operates entirely on your local area network without relying on cloud services.
-
Also available as a Home Assistant add‑on.
Quick start and setup steps are in the GitHub repo: GitHub - izdev-digital/e-paper-dashboard: The solution for displaying dynamic Home Assistant dashboards on E-Paper displays, balancing energy efficiency and information update frequency, using an ESP32 firmware and an ASP.NET Core server that renders and optimizes dashboard images specifically for E-Paper screens.
