Thank you for your appreciation! 
I use flat USB cables and hide it under paper tape that matches the color and texture of the drywall.

Is there any tool to like preview what to display and where? Itās ok to guess and update to see how it did go but would be neat to preview on the computer before updating the screen

How feasible would it be to create something like this that ran entirely off batteries?
I could do with a few of them around the house, however weāve already renovated all the rooms and so Iāve got nowhere to plug them in, and whilst the picture frames look amazing, I donāt want to spoil that look by having cables trailing down the walls etc.
Obviously if theyāre battery powered then theyāll want charging at some point, but Iām thinking that as itās an e-Ink screen I might be able to get away with only charging it once a week (or maybe even less frequently!)
Hi,
I cannot seem to find " HA-GTFS-RT" on the HACS respository. is it on different repository?
Itās probably possible if you donāt need to refresh the screen often. Iām not sure how power management on ESPHome works (e.g. to get the ESP chip to turn on by itself), so Iāll need to look it up.

In HACS under Integrations, there is a menu item (under the āā¦ā at the top right) that allows you to add Custom Repositories. Add https://github.com/mark1foley/ha-gtfs-rt-v2 as an Integration in that dialog.

Hi Madelena.
I bought this display: Waveshare 7.5 inch E-Ink E-Paper Display - WS-13504
It coms with a hat, but i think it might be the wrong hat. Should i return this or can i somehow get this to work with another EPS32?
Hi Gert. Nice display. Is it possible that you would share your code? Best Sascha
Thanks Sascha,
You can find the code here:

Thanks Gert 
Really nice
I see a lot of nice looking e-paper displays. But how does it look when the screen is refreshing?
My display blinks a couple of times when refreshing. It is so annoying that I donāt want to use it as planned 
Here the same. Thats why I only refresh every half hour. Donāt know why it is not updating changes only like I should expect.

This is why I placed the display on a wall in my apartment that I donāt stare at often. You probably donāt want it to be in front of you next to your computer monitor, for example.

I feel like I must be missing something simple, but I canāt get my screen to update beyond the āWaiting for dataā¦ā prompt.
In the ESP logs for the online device, I just get the āNo sensors updated - skipping display refresh.ā output. Iāve found that the initial_data_received variable remains false, but even if I force a screen update when the "No sensors updatedā message appears (or even every minute), the screen updates but has no weather information - just null/blank values. (iāve left out the transit info for the moment).
In Home Assistant, Iāve used some dashboard cards to verify that the weatherman_data template sensor has the expected weather data populated. It just doesnāt seem to be getting pushed to my ESP device.
What can I check to make sure the data is successfully passed to ESP?
How do you reset your recorded display refresh sensor?
I made a similar one, but it want it to be set to 0 one time a day, or count the number of refreshes/h.
Thanks for a inspiring project.

Prompt ESP32 always works or goes to sleep with epapers. I just want to use without cable with independent battery
Can share configuration and template ?
wellā¦ answered my own question, and I was missing something simple.
this was my first time using ESPHome, and didnāt realize after adding the device in the ESPHome section, I also had to go to the Integrations dashboard and add it there as wellā¦
