Project repo:

Hi, I just finished my first battery-powered ESP8266 project for displaying weather forecasts and sensor data retrieved from HA on a Waveshare 7.5-inch e-paper display. The ESP refreshes every 10 minutes and goes to deep sleep again. The code is using partial display refresh and performs a full refresh every two hours (a counter is saved in the RTC memory). Estimated battery lifetime is 1-2 months, let’s see how it works out

VPC · November 14, 2023, 7:16pm

What do the dog icons on your display symbolize? Intrigued…

VPC · November 14, 2023, 7:21pm

Here is my current project. It is a display destined for the kitchen to show the meal plan for today and tomorrow.

This should stop the users and their “What’s for dinner?”

sayanova · November 16, 2023, 2:05am

This is so good. Are you using Grocy? What is this display?

VPC · November 16, 2023, 2:05pm

I’m not using Grocy or Mealie for this. I actually do use Mealie for recipes but I wanted this screen to be easy to update for my users. All I am using is a bunch of Home Assistant Helper Input Texts. The display refreshes when someone changes a meal or the next day.

My users have access to Home Assistant and can very easily update the meal plan by typing in the meals.

I made a few changes to the layout since my last screenshot. Here is what I currently have in production. The red bar is showing the “next” meal. It changes from lunch to dinner at 1pm.

The screen is this one with the 4.2" screen, https://www.tindie.com/products/electronics-by-nic/openepaperlink-mini-ap-v3-zigbee-wifi-gateway/ which is discussed on this thread Anyone looked into using Electronic Price Tag screens with HA? - #12 by lonebaggie

Michael_Dahl · November 16, 2023, 4:53pm

amazing… Wanna share the code ??

VPC · November 16, 2023, 6:45pm

I use two free custom fonts, links below. You drop the .ttf into the custom_components / open_epaper_link directory. The Lato font shows the battery level.

Marker Felt Font.ttf
Lato-Hairline.ttf

https://dwl.freefontsfamily.com/download/Marker-Felt-Font/

When the battery is getting low the whole display is red. The battery threshold is a Home Assistant Input Number. I have it set to 10% and move it to 100% for testing. In my case, input_number.epaper_low_battery_threshold.

Here is the automation code. Enjoy!

I bought two of the 4.2" displays. I’ve got this on the second one. It sits in the kitchen and shows the date and the Anniversaries / Holidays coming up. The Anniversaries come from that HACS integration.

The upcoming Anniversaries come from a sensor. Let me know if anyone wants that code or the epaper code. The sensor is based on code lifted from this discussion

github.com/pinkywafer/Anniversaries

NOT AN ISSUE, just giving something back to the community: Template to show today, coming days birtdays, events

NOT AN ISSUE

Hi, With the help from Jenny and a very friendly community member hereby a te…mplate that I could create to show the **today events** `{% for state in states.sensor -%} {%- if state.attributes.attribution == "Sensor data calculated by Anniversaries Integration" and state.state | int <= 0 -%} {{state.attributes.friendly_name}}: {{state.attributes.date }} current {{state.attributes.current_years }} years old, wil be {{state.attributes.years_at_next_anniversary }} years old {% endif -%} {%- endfor %}` Output: event: 27-02-2021 current 0 years old, wil be 1 years old Just change the value `and state.state | int <= 1 -%}` to for instance 1 to get **Today and tomorrow** `{% for state in states.sensor -%} {%- if state.attributes.attribution == "Sensor data calculated by Anniversaries Integration" and state.state | int <= 1 -%} {{state.attributes.friendly_name}}: {{state.attributes.date }} current {{state.attributes.current_years }} years old, wil be {{state.attributes.years_at_next_anniversary }} years old {% endif -%} {%- endfor %}` **Today and next 2 days** `{% for state in states.sensor -%} {%- if state.attributes.attribution == "Sensor data calculated by Anniversaries Integration" and state.state | int <= 2 -%} {{state.attributes.friendly_name}}: {{state.attributes.date }} current {{state.attributes.current_years }} years old, wil be {{state.attributes.years_at_next_anniversary }} years old {% endif -%} {%- endfor %}` and.... Use for instance with a TTS notification (https://github.com/rt400/ReversoTTS-HA) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/46963011/109385308-29497c80-78f3-11eb-9486-8414a2cfefca.png) Templates for in your config ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/46963011/109388020-e85a6380-7904-11eb-9fcc-c4fbb669ed70.png) Took me some time to figure this out so maybe helpful for other to? Thanks again Jenny for the great integration, work and support to the community!

They were just placeholders, as I didn’t have the time to enlarge the living room icons yet

odwide · November 21, 2023, 7:39pm

What about using these to display and enter items into a shopping list?

Jeopold · December 31, 2023, 11:53am

Hi! Totally new with ESPHome, I tried this project with a Lilygo TTGO 2.9" epaper display. I got it to work properly with HA integration, but there is one thing that doesn´t work, and that is to get the MDI icons to show on the display.

I downloaded the fontm and tried with code seen in other projects shown in this thread, but no icons show up on the display.

Here is the code I have tried. I tried to refer to the glyphs in 2 different ways as I have seen other do.

……………

font:

file: “materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf”
id: mdi_1
size: 30
glyphs: [
‘󰽔’, # F0F54 mdi-home-thermometer
]
file: “materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf”
id: mdi_2
size: 30
glyphs:
- “\U000F050F” # mdi-thermometer

……………

 it.printf(0, 20,  id(mdi_1), "󰽔"); 
 it.printf(35, 20, id(font_temp), "%.1f°c", id(temp_inne).state);
  
 it.printf(0, 50, id(mdi_2), "\U000F050F");
 it.printf(35, 50, id(font_temp), "%.1f°c", id(temp_ute).state);

rcblackwell · December 31, 2023, 2:45pm

The path used in the font section of you config differs from what I’m using. Have you tried ‘fonts/materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf’ as the path?

Here’s a segment from a file I’m working on.

font:
  - file: 'fonts/materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf'
    id: font_mdi_large
    size: 96
    glyphs: &mdi-sprinkler-glyphs
      - "\U000F0590" # mdi-weather-cloudy
      - "\U000F0F2F" # mdi-weather-cloudy-alert

Note the addition of ‘fonts’ in the file name.

Jeopold · January 1, 2024, 5:41pm

Thank you for the feedback. the “fonts/” is only the path to where the font is stored, and I have it stored in the root folder as for now, so it doesn´t make any difference.

Jeopold · January 6, 2024, 6:10am

SOLVED:

Found a way to get it to work. Instead of referring to the glyphs taken from MDI icons page, I opened the materialdesignicons-webfont.ttf locally on my mac and copied the glyphs from there, and that worked.

Wanted to share my M5paper party mode sign

So when I engage party mode, I wanted a sign to welcome my guests and tell them the doors unlocked, and most of my friends know to don’t bother knocking or ringing the doorbell. The sign should be clear and visible when they approach the front door and have enough battery to run the length of the party.

My first attempt was using a M5Stack Core 2, and while very clear and visible, even after adjusting brightness and tweaking ESPHome it would last at most an hour. So I picked up an M5paper with a 4.7" eink display

Using ESPHome and GitHub - Passific/m5paper_esphome: Repository for ESPHOME components for m5paper got a great party mode sign. Shout out to Passific for all the work to get the device working. When I engage party mode, Home Assistant reminds me to put the sign out. I printed a horizonal holder over my doorbell and place the sign in there.

Also considered this magnetic mount but went with the cradle mount instead.

Using a conditional picture elements card in HomeAssistant dashboard I have a mockup of the sign where I can tap and modify the text on the sign.

With some tweaking, the M5Paper on battery is currently lasting about 6 hours, so I’m thrilled with that.

When I end party mode (or if the battery drops below 10% for 5 minutes), I get a reminder to remove the party sign. Other amazing thing is full charge takes a few minutes.

arganto · February 2, 2024, 12:58pm

6 hours? Are you sending new images with 100hz?

alex3m3ti8 · February 2, 2024, 1:12pm

Still in the early stages and have been tweaking different things to try and maximize battery life. Honestly, this is my first epaper device that I’ve played with so have no relative idea how long it SHOULD last, but am thrilled that it’s lasting longer than the 1 hour that the LED display based M5Stack Core 2 I was originally using was.

four2six · February 5, 2024, 8:38am

The very idea of an e-ink display is to show what it is showing “forever”, if you don’t update it. It shouldn’t have any noticeable battery drainage within a day.

alex3m3ti8 · February 6, 2024, 2:44pm

First epaper device and that’s sort of what I was anticipating that I’d get really long ‘forever’ battery life. Kinda new to esphome as well, and so I have been tweaking settings on the esphome such as when the display updates (say for example if I change the text, or when my house mode changes, etc)

Used yaml from Passific/m5paper_esphome: Repository for ESPHOME components for m5paper (github.com) and am just super grateful that they actually got it working, so didn’t wanna complain too much about a 6 hour battery life. But am continuing to tweak.
