Featuring Plugins for the Black-White-Red-Yellow (BWRY) TRMNL

Our BWRY partial color e-ink dashboard (Black, White, Red, Yellow) is a newcomer in our lineup, and in our shop we already demonstrate how well it handles skin tones for photos of people and pets. This carries over to a variety of other plugins that pop with a splash of color because they are already image heavy.

Since the screen refresh is longer and requires more flashes per color, the best plugins for your BWRY display are ones that need less frequent refresh rates or are out of constant line-of-sight. Luckily, the built-in hook-hold makes it easy to place this unit on the wall with just a nail, or use the kickstand to decorate a shelf. So we've compiled a sample of plugins that use the strength of this device to deliver more information because of the use of color.

Imagery Plugins

Spotify Dashboard

The Spotify Dashboard brings to the forefront the art that musical artists integrate into their brand. If you are venturing out to listen to new music, the plugin gives you a better sense of what and who these artists are that have caught your lyrical attention.

RetroWall

Video games have been around for half a lifetime now, and new generations are exploring this rich history along with the nostalgia driven gamers. The RetroWall brings the game art to life, powered by a community of fellow retro gamers. Since most people don't experience these games through their box art anymore, this provides a timeline of art styles, all based on your own explorations.

Comic Library

We are constantly surprised at how popular simple levity is for plugins. TRMNL devices serve not only as an ambient display of actionable information, but an ePaper joy delivery system. At the end of a long day, smiling or laughing at a comic strip you love can make a big difference in how you feel the rest of the night. That's what the Comic Library provides, with 100's of comics available in multiple languages.

Weather & Calendar Plugins

We have a wide variety of weather plugins, but this particular weather plugin was custom build for the BWRY device by a community member. Using subtle color hints to identify sunlight and risk factors, like high rain or high UV. This makes looking at the weather an alert, without the notification sound and on your terms.

Of course, sometimes you just want to know what to wear today, and that's what this plugin provides. Color is used to quickly mark what is ignorable, without withholding the information.

This simple e-ink calendar dashboard trades density for clarity. With highlighting for holidays based on your selected country/state, every family member benefits from this glanceable display.

Stocks

Our final plugin builds on the TRMNL created Stocks plugin and redesigns it with the BWRY in-mind: Stock portfolio.

Using our data merge strategy and a feature of our recipe form fields to easily map one to the other, the red color meets you at your expectations, highlighting when the value has dropped, a common style choice when viewing financial markets.

And there ends our tour of some BWRY plugins! If you are checking out a recipe, don't forget to click PREVIEW and change the preview page to the B/W/R/Y TRMNL to see if color is integrated into it.
