I got myself an ESP32 with an integrated e-ink display. This little project shows when the next bus to the city leaves, and the current time. I get the live bus data from Skyss through the Entur integration in Home Assistant. Might have to get a few more of these to tinker with.

Great work on this project!

I'm envious that you have available data on your public transport! Where I live they're still working on an API that has been advertised as "available soon" for multiple years :(

I have a very similar project with a pi zero and waveshare e-paper display! I'm showing the weather, a countdown to events I'm looking forward to and a virtual pet that changes pose every so often. Here is an older picture of it:

I'm envious that you have useful public transport.

Maybe they have a GTFS-Real Time feed? It's a fast-growing standard for worldwide transit agencies.

Wow, good tip, I didn't know of that. Sadly, where I live this is still 'in preparation'. But I'll keep looking in case this happens before my cities API! Thank you!
