if TRMNL is too expensive, get a cheaper 3rd party option then:
1. flash our* OSS firmware (https://github.com/usetrmnl/trmnl-firmware https://github.com/usetrmnl/trmnl-firmware)
2. spin up an OSS server client (https://docs.trmnl.com/go/diy/byos#implementations https://docs.trmnl.com/go/diy/byos#implementations)
3. install the Home Assistant plugin (https://github.com/usetrmnl/trmnl-home-assistant https://github.com/usetrmnl/trmnl-home-assistant)
no need to write any code or give TRMNL a penny, while still benefiting from a few years of deep dev in this area.

- danialkhilji 15d agoOh nice, I didn't know the firmware and server were open source. I've seen your products on youtube videos but only seen TRMNL as a hardware product with built-in software. Knowing you can flash a cheaper display and run your own server changes things. I'll check out the firmware repo, thanks for pointing that out.
