Sweet, very nice.
I made a 'skyfield' widget for home assistant that shows the current position of the sun, moon and some planets as well as the summer and winter solstice paths. I really think it would be awesome for an e-ink display in the home. I've been planning to kick off that project at some point. This is inspiring.

Looks great! I built a similar system a few years ago as a dashboard for a home weather station, and ended up using Joan Home devices instead of assembling the hardware from components. Highly recommend e-ink as a format for these sorts of low-key displays around the home.

Very cool. Shamelessly linking my own weather display: https://github.com/Mrjohns42/WeatherDash
I think making mine support EINK would help make it more visually compelling like yours, but I've done other EINK display projects in the past (https://github.com/Mrjohns42/DoggieClock) and screen burn-in was definitely an issue.

> Many existing projects used lower level libraries such as Python Imaging Library, but I opted for HTML and CSS. The development is fast when you can edit the HTML and immediately see the result without rendering a raster image after each iteration.

Thanks for pointing me towards the Pi Juice "intelligent on/off" that makes things more clear, looks it has a Cortex M0 microcontroller with RTC that can be programmed to wake at a specific time [1]. The Pi Juice is a really cool piece of hardware. Still interested to know the total time between charges for this thing, and some details of programming the Pi Juice would be cool.

Awesome! I love to reading about this projects. I built my own a while back and every post somehow explores the design space slightly different.
My version[0] uses the 7.5 b/w ePaper that the author replaced, renders using LaTeX and addresses the bw font uglyness by rendering without anti aliasing in an okayish looking font. Looks good to me from a couple of meters away.
