Time for another Home Upgrade! As it turns out my Smart Home Dashboard did not get used very often. So it became kind of like an eye sore overtime and my girlfriend was demanding a useful replacement. So I came up with a big E-Ink Calendar that not only draws very little power, but also connects to the internet and displays our events from Google Calendar for the coming 7 days. I think this project turned out great and super useful!
