Love your project. Thanks for sharing. I was looking into a more general approach of showing a lovelace UI on the inkplate. Processing power and ram for running a full fledged browser is probalby limited. But what about polling a grafic from a web server, updateing the display and sleeping again … .

This here could create a PNG from a lovelace UI and present a PNG via a url.

Doing so possibilities would be endless. Whatever you can create in a lovelace dashboard (your calender e.g.) would be visible on the inkplate.

What do you think?

There is even a sample code to display a picture in the inkplate github. I am not programmer enough to get this going. At least not yet. But I would like to drop the idea to more skilled programmers like you are ,-).

Unfortunately I’m running HA OS. Any idea how I could run it without docker?

Set up another machine and learn how to run docker containers ,-). Its a life skill. Sorry.
