This was a fun project! I'm in the process of testing out some less expensive e-paper displays but wow the documentation for them is horrible. The TRMNL X and reTerminal E1003 are much easier to work with. If you've had good luck with a certain e-paper display let me know!
Cool! Just what I looking for! But my scenario is to display the dashboard to my Samsung Frame TV while it in Art Mode now I know I can use Puppet to do that!
3:53 "next just create a TRMNL account" lost a lot of points
You should pick up some dirt cheap 4 inch ESP32-screens out of China. With the Tessera addon to Home Assistant, it's pretty damn nice what you can do with total ease. I'm up to four 4-inch square screens spread around the house, and counting. There are also larger options of course, but these tiny little square ones are perfect for controls in a room for instance.
