Your product looks so good, congratulations on your launch.
Have you considered making a standalone devices with just sensors (think data only mode) and letting the users hook up their data on any eink dashboard of their choice.
Below are some of the example of community created Air Quality dashboards[1] installable on any e-ink hardware[2].
Thank you! Yes, that's something we'd like to prototype soon for supporting multiple rooms/locations. Integrating with other dashboards including TRMNL would be awesome too.
I recently got it. Device and firmware is a good value. I wish device would have better plastic quality but for something that hangs on the wall it doesn’t really matter.
It was very easy to make my own server with reactjs rendering for it. Now, adding new views is super easy and customizable.
Thanks for sharing, just made a pre-order, exited to have such a device, but as a young parent of two, I do not have the time to tinker such a costly project.
That's the exact reason we built TRMNL, because your phone is consistently trying to seek your attention (hence distraction). TRMNL helps build personal dashboard without necessarily creating chaos. We built handful of native integrations[1], but you can completely hack it and create your own dashboard with simple HTML content[2].
I think you should also checkout TRMNL. Being engineers ourself security/privacy is of atmost concern, and we follow a similar architecture mentioned above. You could create a private plugin and send in data in the form of REST APIs[1]. You could also use your own webserver by hacking the firmware[2]
Every time I setup a JS project which is older than a few years, it's
1. Extremely difficult to setup the code base, because of dependency spaghetti
2. Lot of breaking changes across different libraries, making maintenance not so easy.
Easiest projects to maintain were written on Go, Java, Ruby,
