Display using ESPHome - can you guide me for a good tutorial?

ESPHome

Hi,

I would like to add a small display on my desk, showing the value of a couple of sensors taken from my HA. Can you guide me to a good tutorial, giving good details of hardware required, and coding please?
I am not a totally noob since I already used ESPHome for a multisensor (temp, humidity and motion)

Any guidance will be appreciated :slight_smile:

There’s an OLED example in the ESPHome cookbook:

I have read that and it is useful but I cannot find the WiFi controller it is using

Any ESP board will do. This is my current favourite:

It’ an ESP32 in the same form factor as the popular Wemos D1 Mini that uses the ESP8266 chip.

thanks … the one I used is the ESP8266, if this is compatible with the display I will go for this type of unit, so that I will keep a spare one just in case one goes faulty

Yep that board will work too.

Could I control the whole Home Assistant with something like this?

Basically it’s a touch screen with ESP32 and a camera

I know it can “display” the sensors attached to the ESP, but controlling Lovelace or HACC (tablet mini version of HA) its too much for my knowledge… So far I use ESPhome just with relays and temperature sensors too.

If it is possible, how would it be the display and control, like a browser page?

Were you able to get this working? Lets say display a page?
