We specifically looking for ESP8266 to drive http://www.buy-lcd.com/index.php?route= ... t_id=12582
The pin layout is available on that link in the pdf : GDE080A1 Specification

Looking to use this display connected via ESP8266 over wifi.

You might want to have a look at this project by Sprite_tm: http://spritesmods.com/?art=einkdisplay
It's using a different display, but the hardware should work. For the software to work, you probably need to write your own driver for your paticular display.

Hi,

did you proceed with your project? I would like to align forces if you are interested.

Thanks

I found this blog post that looks pretty cool: http://blog.tindie.com/2017/05/e-paper-iot-door-sign/ . You can even buy the fully assembled product!

Unfortunately, there is no way to update the display wireless. Has anyone created an epaper CRM?
