Customers praised the e-paper display as "quick and easy to work with" with a "beautiful" viewing experience and ideal landscape form factor. While the display "works as advertised," some noted limitations: ESP Home isn't natively supported, most GPIOs are occupied, and one reported minor display alignment issues. Overall high-quality with helpful support.

I use this fine e-ink board as a weather display (connected via WLAN to a little Raspberry Pi Zero server) that is very easy to read and quite reliable. Coding in Micropython was fun and easy and I really liked the function that directly displays a png fetched from an URL, cool!. Noted however a minor bug: battery voltages show up at 3.7-4.5V, which seems strange. But I am quite happy with it and the dsiplay runs on battery for several days!
High-quality product and helpful customer service. I'm deducting one star because the display wasn't aligned perfectly straight on the circuit board. It doesn't bother me in the final product, but it’s a slight oversight in assembly.
Thanks for the purchase and feedback with the screen. Will be looking into some improved tooling solutions to get this in the better shape!
The display works as advertised. Deducting one star as ESP Home is not natively supported (although they are clear about it in FAQ). I wanted to use this for a HA user case and Arduino IDE worked just as well.
Hello Varun,
The Inkplate 5Gen2 is supported natively in ESPHome, and you can call its variant as described in the ESPHome docs here: https://esphome.io/components/display/inkplate/#configuration-variables
However, a big refactor is currently available as a PR here, which will also add better support for all boards: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/17179
We also have it available as an external component, which is available on our github: https://github.com/SolderedElectronics/Soldered-Inkplate-ESPHome
Looks great. Cant wait to try it out.
Love the form factor! Wide, but not too tall. Perfect for landscape
Funktioniert auf Anhieb. Leider sind fast alle GPIOs des ESP belegt. Vermisst habe ich einen 2. seriellen Anschluß.
Quick and easy to work with, beatufil to view.
