Hey @ChristianKuehnel,
I just bought a $20 kindle paperwhite and also want to make a visual home assistant dashboard. It seems like there are a lot of old projects all based on the idea of having a server generate an image and using a kindle jailbreak tweak to display this image on the device as a screensaver.
My device isn’t here yet, but I think these are the most promising options (that both require a jailbroken device):
- This is the most recently updated project that mentions using the long lived token in home assistant and not the old depreciated API password. Unfortunately, it is just a docker container. It’d love to see someone (maybe I’ll try and take this action item on after I get my device) and convert this to a home assistant addon so users could easily add it to their instance. Also the docker container is just hosting a react website, so it might be easy to add additional sensors on the image.
- This project doesn’t interact with home assistant but is a standalone weather dashboard:

Let me know which options you’ve explored!
