Got a new fun home automation project to play with in the coming days: Open Epaper displays with https://openepaperlink.de/

Currently figuring out the optimal position for this AP to get the base range out of it before adding all the automations to @homeassistant

Hmm, der #OpenEPaperLink AP funktioniert noch nicht richtig, der C6 wird nicht gefunden. Vermutlich liegt es an meinen mangelhaften Lötkünsten 🔬

Aber jetzt muss ich erstmal den Drucker fixen. There goes the weekend ... 🙄

I wanted to get into #OpenEPaperLink myself, but no ESLs* available here in Germany for a reasonable price, but I found some #Pricer ones. But they are controlled by IR. Luckily, @furrtek sells an IR sender for these ESLs. Let's see how it'll work. If it does, I'll try to port it to #Rust to be used with an #ESP32.

*ESLs: Electronic Shelf Labels: 1-2" #ePaper displays to display pricing info in stores. They are attractive, as the cost 1-2€/pcs used.
