Originally assigned to: @nlimper on GitHub.

Especially the development of a nice display with json commands requires many updates of a display.
If you want to write a visualisation for a display that you do not own yourself, this is also difficult or even impossible

Not only does such an update take a relatively long time, it also drains the battery life.

There is already a small preview in the Webgui, perhaps it can be extended to a virtual display?

I was thinking about this feature for the home assistant integration. Do you use Home Assistant or just the AP directly?

I use the AP directly.
A solution in the AP is also much more flexible, you can manage with fewer dependencies. Everyone benefits from it.

I will implement a virtual tag at some point.
This is a duplicate of issue https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/OpenEPaperLink/issues/302, so I will close this one.
