The logs from the ESPHome device show that it has the sensor value. When I try to write it out to my e-ink screen, I get NaN, or garbage in the case of a text sensor.
This is, as you might say, frustrating.

Fixed it. Not sure how, apart from copying and pasting from code I found online (I have an inkling that I over-simplified previously, and it was updating the display before it had retrieved the data from home assistant).

Now (well, after work, obvs ;-) ) it's time to make it pretty.

Mmmm, information radiators. Gotta love them.

(it would be remiss of me to not thank/credit @madelena for her Weatherman dashboard - github.com/Madelena/esphome-we , which this is clearly a copy/paste/edit to my own taste of 😉)

A home dashboard showing the current weather conditions, CO2 concentration, travel time to the local station, a QR code for wifi connection, when the next bin collection is, and which bin it is.

The cheap ikea picture frames have arrived, and my displays are almost ready to deploy - on in the house, and one in my office (I don't need a QR for my wifi, and the house doesn't need to know my office CO2)

Information screens made from e-ink displays, one in a black frame, one in a white frame. Both showing current weather conditions and the next four days forecast, driving time to the nearest station, and the date and colour of the next bin collection. One shows the indoor temperature and a QR code for connecting to my wifi, the other shows the CO2 concentration in my office, and the next few events on my calendar.

@Floppy I'm using 7.5inch e-ink displays from Waveshare, powered by ESPHome running on the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-E, running code “inspired by" (aka blatantly copied/pasted/hacked about on) from community.home-assistant.io/t/
