## What it is
An ESPHome configuration project that turns a Waveshare 7.5" e-Paper display and ESP32 into a decorative wall dashboard showing weather and NYC subway information via Home Assistant. It includes intelligent motion-triggered screen refreshing, remote control, and lifetime refresh monitoring to prolong e-ink lifespan.

## Use cases
- build an e-ink weather dashboard for my wall
- display weather and transit info on an e-paper screen with Home Assistant
- make a framed e-ink dashboard that blends with home decor
- reduce e-paper refreshes to extend screen lifespan
- show NYC subway times on an ESP32 e-ink display
- control and monitor an ESPHome display remotely from Home Assistant

## When to choose
- you use Home Assistant with ESPHome and have a Waveshare e-Paper display
- you want a low-power, decorative always-on dashboard near your door
- you want motion-triggered refreshing to preserve e-ink hardware
- you need NYC-area transit (GTFS-RT) data on a wall display

## When to avoid
- you don't use Home Assistant or ESPHome
- you need a general-purpose dashboard framework rather than a specific config
- you want LCD/OLED or web-based dashboards instead of e-ink
- you need real-time updating rather than periodic e-paper refreshes
