Seeed Studio has introduced the reTerminal E1001 and E1002, two compact ePaper displays powered by the ESP32-S3 dual-core microcontroller with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, designed for smart dashboards and digital signage.
The difference between the two models lies in the display:
- E1001 – 7.5-inch monochrome ePaper display (800×480 resolution)
- E1002 – 7.3-inch 6-color ePaper display (800×480 resolution)
Both models are equipped with a 2,000 mAh battery (lasting up to 3 months), 32MB SPI flash, microSD card slot, microphone, buzzer, temperature & humidity sensors, 8-pin GPIO header, buttons, and LEDs.
Key Specifications:
- SoC: ESP32-S3 dual-core with 8MB PSRAM
- Storage: 32MB SPI flash + microSD card (up to 32GB, FAT32)
- Display:
- E1001 – 7.5" monochrome ePaper (800×480)
- E1002 – 7.3" 6-color ePaper (800×480)
- Audio: 3x microphones for voice input, buzzer for alerts
- Wireless: 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 5.0
- Sensors: Temperature & humidity
- Expansion: 8-pin GPIO/I2C header

- Operating Temp: 0–40°C
Software & Firmware
The reTerminal E-series ships with SenseCraft HMI firmware, a no-code platform to create interactive dashboards easily.
- Smart home users can switch to ESPHome firmware for seamless Home Assistant integration.
- Developers can program using Arduino, PlatformIO, or ESP-IDF.
- Optionally, the TRMNL platform enables E Ink dashboard management (one-time $50 fee).
Pricing & Availability
- E1001 (Monochrome) – $69
- E1002 (6-color) – $99
- Both versions will be available on Seeed Studio’s website and eventually on their AliExpress store.
Unlike standard ePaper displays, the reTerminal E-series offers extended features such as audio input, environmental sensors, a no-code UI platform, and thorough documentation. This makes it ideal not just for DIY enthusiasts but also for digital signage, smart dashboards, and IoT applications.
