I got mine from Amazon… Not cheap, but no shipping costs …
I’ve checked… “Currently Not available”
But here’s the link:

I picked one up from ADAFruit and they were out of stock within a couple of days, hot item right now.
Have you managed to use it as a mic against HA Assist using your code? That has been my goal I started looking into and came across this post.
I just picked one up from Digikey (to the UK)
£43 total.
ok 
With the recent ESPHome Update, the Display for the Box is now implemented as Beta…
I got it working and the Box is now acting as Bluetooth-Proxy which displays a Clock…
For now, I just not implemented Microphone, Speaker, Touch and the RGB-LED which comes with it, because in the current state it fits my main needs…everything else can be implemented later on…
Here’s my current config:

How do you integrate the red circle?

- platform: tt21100

I didn’t.
At least Not yet.
Does anyone here has a working config for ESP32 S3 Box Lite?

For some reason the backlight is working in the opposite way on the Lite
light:
- platform: monochromatic
name: "LCD Backlight"
output: lcd_backlight
If you use
restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON
the display will stay black. For me at least
With the team releasing code for this device with the new voice assistant updates, have you moved to that code at all? I was planning on installing it but their example doesn’t include anything for the screen so I was thinkin gof adding in your section of code to do that. I was hoping to expand on it however to have the voice assistant conversation displayed as it responds (this is what my ESPbox currently does while running Willow). Have you looked into this at all?

I did, but right now, it seems that neither the display nor the bluetooth proxy is working with this code.
It seems that there are some conflicts with the current implementation and the idf framework they are using.
I hope, that this will be sorted out in the comming weeks… (?)
If you add inverted: true to the output: section, it’ll fix this.
Full example:
output:
- platform: ledc
pin: GPIO45
id: lcd_backlight
inverted: true
light:
- platform: monochromatic
output: lcd_backlight
name: "LCD Backlight"
restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON
I got this working with the HA provided example, but yeah, the screen is unused. If anyone has a config i could use for inspiration, that would be amazing

I’m not sure, if there is a working configuration at all… it might be, that the implementation has some conflicts with the different components…
I guess, we have to wait a bit until - maybe, some code for the ESP32-S3 Box 3 will be available… ?
This could probably be used for the older Box also…
This is a modified version of the HA example with some display config I pulled from someone in this thread and modified. I’ve yet to try adding bluetooth proxy to it.

Thanks
I will try it later today… I already tried to add the display - without BT Proxy at some point, but it didn’t work as expected… So maybe, there was just a config error somewhere… ?
I’ll update as soon as I have uploaded the config to the device and then I’ll come back with an info
