@Nitramevo has sent some SMPL displays around to app developers to try out (clever thinking 😉). I recieved mine some hours ago and started to see what I could do with it in combination with PBTH. Here are my very first 2 applications I created.

1. Show actual solar production in both kWh and Euro

1. Show actual spot price, cheapest price of the day, and total energy cost of the day

I set the display update to once a minute (which is the fastest possible update). To save batteries I could maybe lower the update interval to 10 minutes, and completely pause updates during the night.

Nice!

I will try to think of some other use cases. Or maybe you all can come up with nice PBTH uses of the display. [[APP][Pro] smpl products - Battery powered e-ink display](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-smpl-products-battery-powered-e-ink-display/60932)
