As a new user in the world of home automation, I’m excited to share my journey of setting up a temperature monitoring system using openHAB. My goal is to measure temperatures across different rooms and display them on a dashboard. After researching various options, I decided to go with the Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensors, which are known for their compatibility with ZigBee and ConBee devices. Integrating them into openHAB was a breeze, and now I’m focusing on creating an effective dashboard display.My wishlist for the dashboard includes easy accessibility, a screen size that can display 5-8 temperatures clearly, and low energy consumption. I initially considered using a tablet, but the constant screen on and power consumption seemed too high. Then I stumbled upon the idea of using an E-Reader with an E-Ink display, which consumes much less power. However, I’m unsure how to handle the page reloading since the built-in browser might not support add-ons for automatic updates.After some research, I discovered that there are dashboards designed specifically for openHAB that can be optimized for low power consumption. These dashboards can be configured to update at intervals without constant reloading, which would be perfect for an E-Ink display. I’m also exploring the possibility of using a Raspberry Pi with a small touchscreen, but I’m concerned about the energy consumption compared to an E-Reader.I’d love to hear from the community about their experiences with similar setups. Have you found any effective solutions for low-power dashboards? Do you have any tips on configuring openHAB for efficient updates? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I continue to refine my setup.
