It has 704 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 10, 2026. OpenEPaperLink is an integration that controls and monitors electronic shelf labels through the OpenEPaperLink project. Each tag and access point appears as a device, with buttons, selects, sensors, switches, text fields, a light and a content image, plus a firmware update. Device triggers cover buttons, NFC and GPIO, so tag events can start automations. Options let tags be hidden from updates, set debounce delays for button and NFC input, and add font directories for generated images. The drawcustom action builds displays from text, shapes, icons, QR codes, images from URLs, sensor plots and progress bars. It works locally and is set up in the UI, with an access point address or Bluetooth tags running the matching firmware.
