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 was tempted until I learned a bit more about the guy behind TRMNL.

Now I transformed a 4" supermarket price tag into a dashboard using the OpenEPaperLink project. It works fine but took some time to set up. And the ESP C6 that is talking to the tags crashes every few days. Still need to figure out how to fix that.
