# ePaperWeatherStation by Frederik Andersen
# v.1.0.0
# Date 2025-02-07
# This project fetches weather data for a specified location using the MET Weather API
# and displays it on a Waveshare 5.65-inch ePaper display. The weather data is updated
# every hour, and the screen is cleared once every 24 hours to prevent ghosting.
