The LilyGo T-Echo is probably the only device you need.
- small
- far more power efficient processor, as compared to ESP32 devices.
- battery included
- e-paper display
- injection molded case included and fully assembled
- no flashing necessary
- compact
- inexpensive
It’s pretty much the only one that comes ready to go out of the box.

It also doesn’t include any of the things you need to make it actually work…
