Bought mine on AliExpress. Yes it’s a bit expensive, 25€ for a 4.2".
Mine is attached to a Lolin D32, SDS011 (Air Quality), a BME280 (Temp, Humidity and Pressure), a buzzer and a LED (for notification). More info here: Air Quality Sensors + E-Ink Display using ESPHome
Hey @Alexandru_Cruceanu, can you please share your YAML or a link to your github repo? I have a 2.7 inch ePaper display and thought it’d be easier to modify your code rather than starting from the bigger displays.
Hi @LUNZ.
Sorry, but i had to rebuild my Home Assistant Setup and i have lost all my ESPHOME config.
I hope to rewrite it as soon as possible and i’ll post the yaml here.
Thanks.
The moon_tpl sensor is not automatically rendering a value. When I set a value in Home Assistant’s Developer Tools, the moon icon displays on the screen. Also, the sensor.moon is working and returning “waxing crescent” etc.
The high/low temperatures on the forecast (on the right hand side) is not displaying but the days of the week and weather icons are.
Do you have any suggestions for why the moon template sensor and high/low forecast temperatures are not rendering?
Yes I do have the Home Assistant package configured. But it’s probably worth me looking at again
Also, I wanted to ask, how long does it take for your display to refresh? Mine is configured to refresh every minute and takes seven seconds to fully cycle so I’m wondering if I should refresh less often or is there a way to quickly update the clock without a full refresh.
Heres my weather station. Main temperatures are from actual temperature sensors inside and outside the house.
Weather forcast from openweathermap.
Used three 2.9" waveshare epaper screens because I wanted partial display refresh. Clock updates every second for seconds to update. Other 2 screen every 2 minute update, Full refresh every 12hours.
Designed my own case and 3D printed.
I am thinking about a project like this myself. It’s a bit difficult to see the actual size of the “clock”. Could you maybe share the dimensions or make a picture with some reference material in it (like a mobile phone or whatever). I would like to be able to read the time from a bit of distance so this is why I am wondering.
