E-Paper Internet Weather Station on LILYGO T5 2.13"
A battery-efficient internet weather station using the LILYGO T5 V2.3 ESP32 with 2.13" e-ink display, fetching temperature, humidity, and wind data every 15 minutes with deep sleep.
Overview
EpaperWeather is a small internet weather station built on the LilyGO TTGO T5 V2.3 ESP32 with a 2.13-inch E-Paper display. It collects internet time and weather data (temperature, min/max temp, humidity, wind speed and direction) every 15 minutes and displays it on the e-ink screen.
The device shows a full information screen for 30 seconds, then switches to a large-font minimal display before entering deep sleep — keeping the last weather data visible on the e-ink panel throughout.
Features
- Fetches weather from an internet API every 15 minutes
- Displays current temp, min/max, humidity, wind speed and direction
- Shows NTP-synced time and date
- Deep sleep between updates for long battery life
- Supports T5 2.13", 2.8", and 2.9" e-paper variants
- Arduino IDE / C++ project
Hardware
- LILYGO T5 V2.3 ESP32 with 2.13" e-paper (DEPG0213BN, 212×104)
- LiPo battery (optional, for portable use)
Build
Configure your WiFi credentials and weather API key in the sketch, then flash via Arduino IDE. The repo includes a multi-version sketch (MyWeather3.ino) supporting three display sizes.
