There&#8217;s a light on the front of the screen to help with visibility, and you can place the station on a table or mount it on a wall.<\/p>\n<p>Users can connect the weather hub to their calendar apps, including Google, iCloud and Outlook, supporting up to five profiles. That allows different users to check their daily events and reminders, and even set alarms.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing how these unique features function together. In previous SwitchBot displays I&#8217;ve tested, I had an option to control how often the information refreshes. I wonder if the company included that here, since that would affect battery life. Either way, it&#8217;s interesting to see SwitchBot continue to create E Ink products after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/i-tried-testing-ai-picture-frames-shoddy-designs-ruined-my-experience\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"c-shortcodeLink c-shortcodeLink-active\" target=\"_blank\">its so-so AI picture frame<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SwitchBot on Wednesday\u00a0released its newest smart home device: a 7.5-inch E Ink display with a one-year battery life&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-481929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
