Before it launched in June, the SwitchBot E-Ink Home Dashboard—originally called the Weather Station—sounded like a really great smart display to have around. Simple to use and easy to place, with Matter integration and long battery life thanks to its E Ink display—what’s not to love?

It turns out that the Home Dashboard is pretty nice for what it is. But its custom screen feature is very difficult to use for anything fun or useful. Was it nice to have simple, up-to-date weather info just a glance away on my wall? Sure! But for now, I won’t buy this $110 device unless SwitchBot makes a few improvements.
