Compatible with Home Assistant, it operates as a physical dashboard to monitor real-time data, including weather and schedules, making it a useful complement to a smart home system.
XIAO 7.5-inch ePaper display specifications
The panel is using a 7.5-inch monochrome e-ink screen with 800 x 480 resolution, which gives crisp and easy-on-the-eye visuals and is glare-free. The device is also extremely energy-efficient due to the use of e-ink technology. It has a built-in 2000mAh Li-ion battery that gives it a long battery life of up to three months on deep sleep at a 6-hour refresh interval, operating at a voltage range of 3.3V to 5V.
The device is in a 3D-printed and PLA-printed housing with a white colour and dimensions of 178 x 131 x 19 mm, and the mass of the apparatus is 218 g. A retracting stand can be placed on a desk as well as a wall, making it convenient to be used in any smart home. With its open-source support, long battery life, and clean design, Seeed’s new ePaper Panel provides an affordable and customizable way to display smart home data at a glance.
In addition to Home Assistant, the ePaper Panel also works with TRMNL, giving access to over 80 plugins, including calendar, Shopify, and GitHub integrations. For developers, the device supports the Arduino IDE, enabling custom dashboards and features through Arduino C programming. You can visit their wiki page for more information.
