Can you disable the online integration features? Ie no google login, just be dumb and display what i tell it?

Second question, any thoughts on if this could run off of battery? Eink tends to be so low power, i'd love this type of product with a wallhang and periodic charge. Thoughts?

The price point is great!

You still need to in to the companion app because the device needs the online backend for computing the render.

But on iOS you can log in with apple. And there is no need to pair with google calendar if you use the image url feature:

Batteries drive up the cost for certification and shipping. I think a battery works better together with a bigger, more expensive display, where these costs are less of a concern and which you cannot place on a stand.

(Even though you can definitely hang my display up on the wall and if you don’t have a socket nearby, you can plug it into a battery pack)

Sorry if that’s a lot of text but I think about this stuff every day :D

Hard decisions!

Right, but that could be fully in my network if i understand correctly.

This works, but i'd really like a way to do this without any cloud-y features. As dumb as possible. Especially for low cost devices like this where i'm paranoid of it being "cheap because they sell my data" sort of thing.

This is exactly what i was hoping for! I don't mind buying the battery pack separately. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't hard wired to a wall plug, etc.

In the future if you could try to allocate space or hooks or anything to support this use case that would be amazing. Ie some little hooks on the back where a user could ziptie a battery back to it would be great!

I think i'm going to give one of these a try. If it works well for my headless use case i'd probably love a handful of these things, they're very close to what i've wanted for years. A lot of little low power displays around the house that work like picture frames. A hybrid to "modern life" and "old life" if you will. I love Eink

I believe many people hate that power cable... Why not leveraging the low power consumption of eink? I hope you guys plannign one with battery.
