Hi guys, BLOOMIN8 team here—the same folks who brought the Arpobot Smart Shade (yep, the Matter-over-Thread one!). We're launching an exciting new project on the 19th this month: a vivid, paper-like, cord-free, smart colour e-ink frame fully integrated with Home Assistant!
Here's a quick peek at our progress: Check out the HA demo
Matter certification takes a long time, especially for startups (a lesson learned from the previous project. We just received the new cert last month), so we're kicking off with Home Assistant integration first this time. So we have the full control of everything and not betting on the BIGs.
We're looking for 3 developers to help us finalize and test our custom HA integration. We'll provide you with:
- Be the first to experience the world's first SMART colour eink frame (with all the features combined, for sure we are the first)
- Open source code for the custom integration
- Full documentation of the RESTful API
- Fun
If you already own a Spectra 6 eink display with SPI—perfect! We'll send you our board completely free of charge. If you don't have the display but still want to participate, you can chip in a sample price and join the fun! Drop a comment or DM.
For everyone else interested in the product, join our waitlist to secure the secret reward with a 40% discount.
Cheers, Francis
