EPaperWeatherDisplay
An ESP32-based weather display that fetches data from Dark Sky API and shows it on a 4.2" ePaper screen using ESP-IDF.
What is EPaperWeatherDisplay?
esp32-e-paper-weatherdisplay is an open-source hardware and software project that creates a battery-powered weather display using an ESP32 microcontroller and a 4.2-inch ePaper screen. It fetches weather data from the Dark Sky API and displays it in a low-power, always-on format, solving the need for an energy-efficient, standalone weather station. The project leverages the ESP-IDF framework for development and includes features like over-the-air updates and a custom 3D-printed case.
Embedded systems developers, IoT hobbyists, and makers interested in building low-power, connected display projects with ESP32 and ePaper technology. It's also suitable for those looking to create custom weather stations or learn about ESP-IDF and API integration in embedded contexts.
Developers choose this project for its complete, open-source implementation of a low-power weather display with ESP32 and ePaper, offering detailed hardware and software guidance. Its unique selling point is the combination of battery optimization, over-the-air update capability, and a ready-to-use design with a 3D-printed case, reducing the barrier to building a functional IoT weather device.
