The full story
The poster turned an older Kindle Paperwhite into a wall panel for a winter garden, showing several lights, sun blinds and the temperature. The Kindle is jailbroken, runs KOReader and connects to the local network over Wi-Fi.
They found the approach online and "vibecoded it with Claude". They say it works flawlessly and the Kindle cost about 50 euros.
