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!
