What’s the battery life like on those? I have a TRMNL which I wanted to use as a persistent calendar/dashboard attached to the fridge, but it’s just too small. Battery life was great though because it’s e-ink!

Great idea. They look better than just a cheap tablet for home dashboards. Just make sure you don't keep them connected to the Internet for security reasons.

I show my e-ink one in the video and talk about why it wasn't a good fit for me

Old bad ones and they’re mostly not rootable but they’re cheap and run a web browser showing Home Assistant!
