[fff41 (fff)]

Hey,

I’m not sure if I’ll have time to work on this project, but I found a cool way to use electronic price tags, especially with home assistant.

My main goal is to share it with you and hear from those who might be interested in trying it out…

Hi,

Checkout OpenEpaperLink.de, there is a HA integration to that

Display OpenEPaperLink Shop Tags in Dashboard

I’m currently using shop E-ink tags to display information from Home Assistant using OpenEPaperLink and this Home Assistant Addin. This is working superbly allowing low cost e-ink tags to display low frequency update sensors , such as “Bin day” , “BEV current charge”, “Number of items on shopping list”, Weather reports , etc. The openPaper addin creates new images for the tags via a custom service call and does not currently create a GUI preview. As the tags update very infrequently, editin…

I use it to display electricity prices, weather etc etc.

Do you have a link to a compatible tag? AliExpress, eBay or similar?

Have a look at this thread

Anyone looked into using Electronic Price Tag screens with HA?

I was looking at AliExpress and stumbled on 1PCS Black 2.1" Electronic Price Tag ESL TFT Screen Shelf Label No Messy Writing Low Consumption Bluetooth Connect Cellphone app|Drawing Board| - AliExpress These look really nice to be used with HA to show a tiny dashboard/information. I did a search on this forum but could not find anything (but perhaps my search string was not optimal). Does anyone know of any integration that will support these electronic price tag screens?
