Trmnl experiences? (lemmy.world)

Did anyone here get one of those Trmnl dashboards? I’ve been wanting to build an e-ink dashboard for years but it keeps not happening, so I ordered a Trmnl X as soon as I read about it.

There’s a bit of a delay on shipping, and early adopters on Reddit were negative, but I’m excited!

— apparently one of the issues was magnets not sufficient to hold it to a fridge. THE CASE HAS MAGNETS! AND THEY'RE UPDATING THEM!

There is a big list of plugins, including apple calendar and HA dashboard, which I’m most interested in

Anyhow, if you got one, please share your experience

It's not quite the same because it has a lot less screen estate, but I can 100% recommend Home Buttons. You can either build it yourself (3D printed enclosure, custom PCB) or buy one already built for you. They each fancy an e-ink display you can configure with Material Design Icons (or even custom text in case of the bigger one). They integrate into Home Assistant via MQTT and can be fully used for any automation you would like. You can even change the 4 or 6 button labels using Home Assistant.

While I’m not a fan of them using WiFi, cool idea!
