finally managed to get my Zhsunyco BLE-266BWRY 2.66-inch e-paper label working with Home Assistant, so I thought I would share what worked for me in case it helps others.

Hardware

  • Zhsunyco BLE-266BWRY 2.66” E-Paper Display

Integrations Used

I installed these through HACS:

Setup Notes

The display was detected over Bluetooth from the PC running Home Assistant, but the screen size/model was not supported out of the box.

To get it working, I modified the .whl file used by the Wolink integration and added support for the BLE-266BWRY display size/model.

After adding the screen definition and reinstalling the modified wheel, the display started working correctly with E-Ink Display Manager.

What Works

  • Bluetooth connection
  • Image updates
  • Display refreshes through Home Assistant
  • Integration with E-Ink Display Manager

Notes

It took a bit of trial and error to figure out the correct screen configuration, but once the model was added it worked reliably.

Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to get these 2.66” BLE labels working with Home Assistant.

If anyone else has this model and wants help getting it working, feel free to reply.
