SwitchBot's new E Ink display seems great for weather nerds
"One of SwitchBot's most interesting products announced at CES 2026 is one of its most basic. The Weather Station, as it's called, is a 7.5-inch framed E Ink screen that's packed with weather-related data. Its interface shows info including the date, time, weather, a six-day weather forecast, and when the sunrise and sunset will happen, as well as metrics gathered by its built-in sensors, like indoor temperature and humidity."
"There's an AI component to the Weather Station that's accessible via one of the buttons along the bottom bezel. Based on the weather report, it can offer AI-powered insights and recommendations, plus the ability to generate "weather-related aspirational quotes," in case you need those to get through your day. In addition to showing the weather, the Weather Station can serve as a calendar display. It offers multiplatform calendar syncing, although SwitchBot didn't name compatible platforms."
