E-ink Desk Display

I made this E-ink display for my computer desk setup as an Always On display to show me information such as the date, time, weather, HDMI settings, USB settings, and CPU/GPU/Memory temperature information.

You can see a demonstration of the E-ink Display on YouTube: The E-ink Desk Accessory.

Home Assistant Requirement

This E-ink display has ESPHome installed and retrieves all live data (timesync, weather, etc..) directly from the Home Assistant (HA) server. Only code for the E-ink display (ESPHome) has been provided. The following integrations/services were used on HA for their respective data:

• ESPHome (HA Integration)
• OpenWeather (HA Integration)
• Yahoo Finance (HACS Component)
• Libre Hardware Monitor (Software on PC)
• My DIY Macropad

Hardware

• LilyGo T5 4.7" Epaper (Old Version Used, NOT New V2.3)
• Remixed 3D Printed Case based on this 3D Model
