I have [multiple dashboards](https://github.com/Madelena/hass-config-public) 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.
1. No soldering is required since the e-Paper driver board was integrated into the ESP32 board. All I needed to do was to connect the e-Paper screen to the driver board, and then connect the driver board to the USB socket on my light switch.
2. Copy `/fonts`, `/images`, and `weatherman.yaml` to your /.config/esphome folder.
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.
## Last Refreshed Timestamp
The last update timestamp can be displayed on the screen itself. No more wondering when the screen was last refreshed!
## Remote Control and Monitoring
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.
*Weatherman* is a reference to the song [*Blame it on the Weatherman* by B*Witched](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTwiK8z2m_Y). If you're late to your date because of this, blame it on the Weatherman.
