A simple dashboard with weather and NYC subway information for ESPHome
I have multiple dashboards around my apartment and they display different information depending on the context. Since this is placed near the front door, it contains concise information for what's outside with a homey style to match the rest of the wall.
This is part of the ecosystem for my Home Assistant configuration.

the ESP32 board using ESPHome.To reduce the frequency of screen refreshes and to prolong the life of the e-ink screen, the screen will now only refresh when motion (or any template criteria) sensor binary_sensor.weatherman_motion_detected
is on. I have it set up so that it wakes up when there are any motions from my sensors in the living room.
The last update timestamp can be displayed on the screen itself. No more wondering when the screen was last refreshed!
The screen can now be controlled and monitored remotely. The screen can be either refreshed manually, restarted, or safely shut down through buttons in your HA. The number of screen refreshes in its lifetime as well as its last update timestamp and wifi signal strength can also be monitored.

Here are some other repos that I referenced from:
Weatherman is a reference to the song Blame it on the Weatherman by B*Witched. If you're late to your date because of this, blame it on the Weatherman.
