I got myself an ESP32 with an integrated e-ink display. This little project shows when the next bus to the city leaves, and the current time. I get the live bus data from Skyss through the Entur integration in Home Assistant. Might have to get a few more of these to tinker with.

Great work on this project!

I'm envious that you have available data on your public transport! Where I live they're still working on an API that has been advertised as "available soon" for multiple years :(

I have a very similar project with a pi zero and waveshare e-paper display! I'm showing the weather, a countdown to events I'm looking forward to and a virtual pet that changes pose every so often. Here is an older picture of it:

Nice work on the interface! I especially like the cat :3
