What’s up smart homers! I was inspired by this project to create an automation blueprint that helps send text to the Pixoo64. The project referenced uses REST commands to control the Pixoo64, but I had to modify the “Send Text” REST command in order to make this blueprint work the way I wanted. Below is the blueprint, and following that are the all of the REST commands from the original project I referenced, but I’ve modified the “Sent Text” command and I’ve added a couple new ones. You need to add these to your rest_commands.yaml file or configuration.yaml file.
#Note: This blueprint requires rest commands to be set up in your Home Assistant instance.

I’ve added the rest of the necessary information in a comment because it won’t let me import the blueprint when it’s all in the original post.
