Ikea Ribba - eInk frame insert for 5″x7″ picture frames

The more you get into the topic of SmartHome, the more you ask yourself how you can bring all this data into your normal life in the most convenient and attractive way possible. 

One solution to this problem is my MagicMirror project. I have another one thanks to Madalena (https://github.com/Madelena) when I came across your GitHub repo a few months ago (https://github.com/Madelena/esphome-weatherman-dashboard). 

After I have expanded the project a bit, the Ikea Ribba eInk frame insert came out with which a battery-powered E-Ink display can be set up, which receives the data from a Home Assistant instance.

In order to simplify the hardware setup of the Ikea Ribba eInk display, I have created a 3D printable insert with which the eInk display and the complete electronics can be installed precisely in the Ikea Ribba 5″x7″ frame used.
