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

I have one and it's great, although I don't have any HA information on it, as I don't have a lot of information worth having on a screen that's not live data.

    Could you share what you do find useful? I see a big catalog of plugins.

    For me in HA, I have

    • 6 temperature sensors. I like seeing the trends, relationships, and trying to optimize, trying to make my house more consistent and comfortable
    • 3 humidity sensors and likely to increase. Humidity control s a battle I’ve been fighting and want more info and more ways to respond. Notably this past year my addition got a heat pump with a dehumidify setting
    • Airthings Radon sensor - 7 different measures of air quality I can work on. Seeing trends can identify events with harmful results
    • EV charger and status
    • I do want to work on measuring energy usage, but haven’t gotten very far yet

    But I’m really looking for the family calendar on the fridge
