I always want to have a weather station hangs on the wall. I know you can get weather information easily from your smartphone. But from time to time I forget to check weather before it is too late to bring an umbrella or an extra jacket.

I got a lot of ESP8266, ESP32 and RasPi at home. Building the wether station like this should be a piece of cake for me.

However, I have difficulty in finding a suitable display component. I find the LED/LCD panel is not an ideal choice. Although their price is cheap now, showing a static image for a long time will burn the panel.

The project postpones start until I saw this cheap e-ink display from eBay.

My design goal is simple:
1. Pulling weather information from weather forecast website like Open Weather and etc.
2. Showing weather information on e-ink display.
3. Adding customized reminder. Eg, if it is going to rain, remind of brining an umbrella. If the temperature drops during day, remind of brining an extra jacket.
