Description

It would be nice if you would come up with a new product, a 20x10 cm E-Ink screen that can display readings from 2 Ruuvi Tag sensors. The screen would be configurable from Ruuvi Station app, via BT LE. The screen then would receive the BT LE signals from the configured sensors (after configuration, the screen no longer needs the phone) and would display them on each half of the screen. This would help users quickly setup a home outdoor + indoor weather station. You could even offer a pack of 2 Tag sensors + 1 E-Ink screen + 1 rubber housing + 1 sensor stand for some special price. The screen would have no buttons (other than Reset, perhaps) and would work with the same CR battery as any Tag sensor.

This. I came here with the same feature request and found this old thread. The use case is so obvious. I guess the Bluetooth support would be mandatory, but the screen could also support fetching the measurements from the Ruuvi cloud API.

It feels silly that I need some third party weather station to recollect and conveniently display the data, when my Ruuvi tags are already doing the collection part. Some of us just want to throw money at a problem instead of tinkering and soldering their own display. :slight_smile:

Check out Onion iomega2 with touch screen I started to set one up just for this idea but got sidetracked. Runs linux with SD and wifi $70US. My son 3d printed a case.
