Will This E-Paper Device CHANGE Your Productivity Forever? (TRMNL)

NOTE!: I forgot to mention in this video that I purchased the Clarity kit add-on for this product which adds even more battery life to the display and gives me the developer edition. Here are the details: https://shop.usetrmnl.com/products/clarity-kit # TRMNL OG: One Month Review – Was It Worth It? After 30 days of daily use, here's my review of the TRMNL OG e-ink display. I cover everything from battery life and screen quality to plugins, build quality, and whether it's worth the price. I even make my own DIY monstrosity to see how they compare. This is an unsponsored, honest review from someone who paid for the device myself. # Links Buy TRMNL OG: https://usetrmnl.com (Not an affiliate link) TRMNL Terminus (self-hosting): https://github.com/usetrmnl/byos_hanami My DIY E-ink Display Code: https://github.com/foxleigh81/epaper-dnd Parts list for DIY display: https://www.foxyslab.com/resources/diy-e-paper-display TRMNL Unboxing Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8gowSrn7Bg # Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:30 Cloud only disclaimer 00:47 Look and feel 01:14 Battery Life 01:34 Plugin Library 02:31 Cloud control and ways around it 03:47 Build Quality 04:38 Usability 05:11 Pricing (Is it worth it?) 06:21 What’s wrong with it? 07:22 DIY … or buy? 09:37 Lab result: Do I recommend it? 10:07 Outro #trmnl #eink #smarthome #homeassistant #productivity #desksetup #makerproject #raspberrypi #nodered #iot #smarthomeautomation #techreview #productreview #opensource #localcontrol #privacyfirst #notion #googlecalendar #dashboards #lowpower #batterylife #diyelectronics #smarthomedashboard #informationdisplay #glanceabledisplay --- # My links: My blog: https://foxleigh.me Discord: https://discord.gg/tPdaADbM2N Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/foxyslab LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexfoxleigh/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/foxleigh81 GitHub: https://github.com/foxleigh81 # Gear + stuff I use My studio kit, homelab builds and recommended gear are listed here: https://www.foxyslab.com/resources # A quick note I buy all the stuff I show on the channel myself. If something is sent to me for review, I’ll tell you outright and it doesn’t change what I say about it. Most product links I share are affiliate links if I can get them but I only share links to product that I actually use myself and consider to be worth buying. # Support the channel If you like my videos and want to help me keep making more of them, Patreon is the best way. You also get Discord roles, behind-the-scenes chats and your name in the credits depending on the tier.
