Anyone looked into using Electronic Price Tag screens with HA?

Hi,
Where can I find these settings? (Searching without success )

arganto · April 8, 2024, 2:11pm

Open the tag in access point and change content as in screenshop.

apfelklaus · April 8, 2024, 2:22pm

@arganto Thanks a lot - found it
Sadly there is no option I hoped to find - is there a way to change the update / wake frequency?
Is there a way to change the transmit power - I get less than 10 meters in distance - less than 5 with a wall in between, multiple house floor completely not working

arganto · April 8, 2024, 2:32pm

Not that I’m aware of. But currently I have not problems with ranges. I didn’t even install my second ap, which I would have to mesh such problems if they would appear. 20 meters with walls and floors do not make problems at the moment. Perhaps try to change the position and angel of the AP

Did you check for updates of the AP? I had tags “forgetting” their settings. After the latest AP update this seems to have gone.

And: I had tags that didn’t work, after resetting them (take the batteries out, shorten the battery contacts), they worked fine.

Heya, I have a problem with a code I’m trying to send to one of my 2.9’’ displays.
The source-code is:

{% set today = now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d') %}{% set ns = namespace(counter=0) %}{% for week, menu_list in state_attr('skolmat.tunge_skola', 'calendar').items() %}
{% for menu_day in menu_list %}{% if menu_day.date >= today %}{% if ns.counter < 2 %}{% set ns.counter = ns.counter + 1 %}
{{ menu_day.weekday }} ({{ menu_day.date }})
{%- for course in menu_day.courses %}
• {{ course }}
{%- endfor -%}{% endif %}{% endif %}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}

And if I use this in the Dev tool > template it shows up with nice line feeds:

Onsdag (2024-04-17)
• Currykyckling, serveras med ris
• Pastagratäng med tomat och parmesan
Torsdag (2024-04-18)
• Krämig blomkålssoppa, serveras med mjukt bröd och pålägg

But when I send it to my panel it only show me all the info without any line feeds!
This is the code I use in the automation, is it something wrong with that one?
In the step details in the automation it shows up like the way I want it with line feeds and everything. But on my display its wierd, check the picture.
Thank you

Please post pictures of those meals! They sound far more interesting than mine:

I took a look at one of my displays that is doing carriage returns. It has this sensor

  - variables:
      anniversaries_upcoming: "{{ states('sensor.anniversaries_upcoming') | string }}"

The definition for sensor.anniversaries_upcoming is below. The {{"\n"}} (towards the bottom) part might be helpful for you?

platform: template
sensors:
  anniversaries_upcoming:
    value_template: >
      {%- set ns = namespace(a=[]) %}

      {%- for item in expand(integration_entities('anniversaries')) |
        selectattr("state", 'is_number') %}
        {%- set d_h = item.attributes.get('days_until_half_anniversary', 999) %}
        {%- set h = d_h < item.state | int %}
        {%- set d = [item.state | int, d_h] | min %}
        {%- set y = item.attributes.get('current_years') %}
        {%- set y = y + (0.5 if h else 1 if d != 0 else 0) if y is not none %} 
        {%- set ns.a = ns.a + [ dict(n=item.name, d=d, y=y, h=h)] %}
      {%- endfor %}

      {%- for item in ns.a | sort(attribute='d') -%}
        {%- set n, d, y, h = item.n, item.d, item.y, item.h %}
        {%- if d == 0 %}Today: {{ n }}
          {%-if y %} ({{ y }} year){%-endif %}{{"\n"}}
        {%- elif d < 45 %}{{ d }} day{{'s' if d > 1 }} until: {{ n }}
          {%-if y %} ({{ y }} year){%-endif %}{{"\n"}}
        {%- endif %}
      {%- endfor %}

MrGlad8 · April 17, 2024, 5:17pm

Thank you! Looks like this could be the solution for me

Hellis81 · April 17, 2024, 7:30pm

I use the multiline function and add a delimiter where I need to line break.

Dragon863 · April 24, 2024, 8:57pm

I love this project and I’d like to get some tags of my own, but I’m struggling to find anywhere that sells them in the UK (or at all for that matter!), if anyone has any links I’d greatly appreciate it

arganto · May 14, 2024, 3:20pm

Thx for sharing it last year. I took over several things and adjusted to my needs and taste. Big and square small one.

four2six · May 15, 2024, 6:46am

looks great, better than mine! would you mind sharing the code?

Some infos:

I put the icon mapping in a variable
The other variable is for having theforecast day and temperatures left aligned but always as right as possiblem. For this I counted the pixcels and calculate the x avalue
The color coding for temperature and wind is still there
The wind as well, but nor with visible parameter and not with pushing x and y out of display
The rounding looks most probaly weired, but I wanted to have german rounding (,5 is 1) but round down on low temperature and round up on high for this display.

much cleaner than my old code, which doesn’t work anymore anyway due to the changes in the met.no sensors.
What about the small one?

I love these price tags!

I love esp. the integration.

For the tags (have lots of them nevertheless) I would like to have more beautiful ones with same border and without bar codes. Saw a lot of prettier ones here in the markets. And the big ones in white instead of black.

Yes, I know, that I can pull the barcode tag, but then I have still the big site and an empty slot with a little hole.

I just made a Nordpool portrait template.
If I could then I would use the landscape versions that has been posted previously here in the thread but since I need it to fit with other displays I need it in portrait mode.

It displays today and tomorrows prices with a maximum of 12 times. Cheapest times are marked with a red bold border, highest prices are written in red.

Here is the template that I added some easy tweaks for different currencies and such also.

Is there any good monospaced fonts anyone has a link to?

Does anyone know if it would be OK to power the 2.9″ ST‐GR29000 from a 3.3V PSU? My application (medical information) updates every ten minutes and burns through batteries too fast.

john2014 · August 12, 2024, 6:45am

This is a really interesting idea. For some of my use cases, I want to update the display every hour, but that drains the battery so fast. I just tried to play around by using 2 AA batteries and it seems to work just fine. (sorry for the horrible setup, but the original red wire from the battery holder got ripped out )
