E-ink Dashboard

A TRMNL-style e-ink display for the homelab: low-power ambient dashboard for services and stats.

A self-hosted alternative to TRMNL: a low-power e-ink panel that cycles through dashboard screens showing homelab service status, resource usage, and other glanceable information.

Goals

  • Drive an e-ink panel from a small, low-power board (deep sleep between screen refreshes)
  • Server-side rendered dashboard screens, pulled over Wi-Fi on wake
  • Templates for service status, storage, calendar, and weather

Status

In planning. Evaluating display sizes and controller boards.
