Alternative firmware and protocol for the ZBS243-based Electronic Shelf Labels - ESL / price tags by Solum / Samsung. It can be used to setup E-Paper tags and supply them with content. See GitHub Project https://github.com/jjwbruijn/OpenEPaperLink

This adapter specifically focuses on facilitating communication between the OEPL Access Point and iobroker. It serves as a tool to streamline and enhance the interaction between these two components, enabling seamless integration and communication between the OEPL system and iobroker. The mentioned resources provide valuable information to understand and optimize this communication for effective system operation.

The OpenEPaperLink adapter is designed to seamlessly integrate all displays and access points from OpenEPaperLink into the iobroker object structure. This integration is structured within the main folder "openepaperlink," categorized and organized based on the MAC addresses of individual tags and devices.

Within the iobroker system, a central "openepaperlink" folder is created to group all connected devices. This main folder serves as a container, ensuring a clear and organized representation of various displays and access points. Devices are organized according to their unique MAC addresses. This method allows for clear identification and separation of each device within the iobroker system. Each display and access point has its own specific structure within the main folder, facilitating targeted management and control of individual devices.

This structured integration into the iobroker object structure ensures a user-friendly and organized representation of all OpenEPaperLink devices within the iobroker system. It enables efficient management, control, and interaction with OpenEPaperLink displays and access points through the iobroker interface.
