EPDK-Matter Kit is a Arduino Nano ePaper display development board with Matter support

Pervasive Displays has partnered with Arduino and Silicon Labs to launch the EPDK-Matter development kit. This Arduino Nano ePaper display combines a 2.9″ black-and-white ePaper display with Matter home automation support. The kit features a 384×168 pixel display, EXT4 Expansion board with a range of sensors, including a three-axis accelerometer, temperature, and humidity sensors, and a user-addressable button.

Additionally. it integrates with an Arduino Nano Matter board powered by the Silicon Labs MGM240S module, providing Matter compatibility. The kit is designed for low-energy applications like home automation, offering an easy entry point for makers and professionals to develop energy-efficient solutions. It supports applications such as smart lighting and environmental sensing. All these features make this device useful for applications like smart home dashboards, environmental monitoring, smart light controllers, and more.
