This week, seven days after ordering, I received the Seeed reTerminal E1001 e-paper display. The total cost was €73 (including shipping and customs).

My first impression of the reTerminal e1001 is that it’s a robust device with a nice screen and easily accessible buttons. SenseCraft HMI is the zero-code online tool for designing screens for this device. It’s simple and user-friendly.

By default, you can display three photos on the display. Expanding the memory with a micro SD card (not included) provides space for up to 20 photos.

During testing, I noticed that all dynamic features, such as battery percentage, are displayed in the display designer, but not on the E1001’s screen (like N/A values). When connecting to the Homey API, the data isn’t refreshed, JavaScript isn’t executed, and the image URL isn’t displayed. I know the app is still in beta, and I hope this will improve soon.

I’ve looked on the Homey forum for temporary alternative ways to control a screen, but these are too technical and too complex for me.

I can’t yet determine the final release date for the software. It looks promising, but there is still work to be done on the software side.
