A few weeks ago I stumbled across MadalenaMak's project (https://github.com/Madelena/esphome-weatherman-dashboard) while I've been looking for a stylish design for my waveshare e-Ink displays for a long time.
Based on this I created a eInk based SmartHome Display that can be used to display all kind of smart home related data. It can be used permanently powered via USB-C or battery powered (aprox. runtime thre months, depending on refresh cycles...).
To simplify the hardware setup a bit (and also expand the range of functions), I created a 3D printable insert. All the electronics, including the battery, can be housed in it.
Thanks to DeepSleep of the SeeedStudio XIAO ESP32C3 MCU, the picture frame can run for up to three months on one battery charge and can therefore operated completely wirelessly. The data displayed is retrieved from my HomeAssitant instance.
- The housing stl files are available on my blog at: https://nerdiy.de/en/product-2/eink-frame-insert-suitable-for-ikea-ribba-5x7-picture-frame-3d-printable-stl-files/
- The ESPHome configuration is available at my github repo: https://github.com/Nerdiyde/ESPHomeSnippets/tree/main/Snippets/eInk_frame_insert_ribba_5inchX7inch

Hi, your infographics looks very professional . I do a lot eink/epaper stuff lately and also like the XIAO ESP32C3 as the brains . But using the SeeedStudio's ePaper Breakout Board instead of the Waveshare board. We don't have Ikea here but I was busy buying all kinds of picture frames to hack. Your solution maybe can help.
