On the home page config, I see heating_status, but if in my climate , when heating is active, I don’t see on the home page this is active?

Hi! The project is still under development. The icon display isn’t finished yet. But it will be soon.
Hi, I tried to get some more information about whats new for P4 in dev version. I am trying to get OTA working on my device - ESP-P4-ETH from waveshare. I basically coppied bits of essential configuration from this project.
Hi! In version 2025.12.0 dev OTA works in my project, but there is screen flickering
What does anyone think about an intercom function? Perhaps a “Push to announce/talk” setup. This is not a feature request, just looking for input on utility and feasibility.
funny, i also have screen flickering with the old guition 4" when doing ota, not that it matters
On Guition ESP32-48480S40, it also flickers during OTA if you don’t specify rodata in the SDK settings, but on Waveshare-86-panel this doesn’t help.
Qualcuno ha delle info sulle impostazioni inerenti al settaggio del nuovo display elecrow 9 pollici esp32p4?
Use the execute_from_psram option rather than setting sdkconfig options.

I’ve just bought a Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-4B and have got @alaltitov’s project working on it, but the wifi range on it is absolutely terrible. Even at 3m with direct line of sight to the router, it’s less than 50% signal strength. By contrast, I have plenty of other ESP32 devices with PCB antennas working reliably off the same routers in different rooms.
Are reasons other than broken hardware that might explain this? I’ve checked that the antenna is attached and not visibly damaged.
I’m using esphome 2025.11.5.
Mine is about 25 feet and two floors away from my access point and I get about 70% signal strength. It could be a hardware issue or an issue with your access point.
My button panel is working great with this screen if you want to try the latest.
Thank you - I have also got your configuration working too, with exactly the same wifi issue.
I’ve tried two completely different access points and both show the same issue (and both work just fine with plenty of other ESP32 devices).
I’m going to attempt to update the co-processor firmware, but I fear this may be a hardware issue. EDIT: now done, no change.
Unfortunately, I didn’t try connecting to wifi using the demo firmware that it shipped with, and that firmware doesn’t seem to be available anywhere.
Turns out that it’s a faulty antenna - it’s shorted in the connector on the cable. I’ve not got anything with the right connector to replace it with, but if I carefully touch the centre pin of the connector on the PCB with tweezers, wifi strength jumps to 75%.
Good find. This unit does have an external antenna at the top of the housing. This is a good design unless the cable is damaged or disconnected!
I figured I had nothing to lose, so I got the microscope and tweezers out and had a go at fixing it. I managed to prise open the ipex connector and sure enough, found a single loose strand of wire. Probably less than 1mm long, but obviously enough to short it. Against the odds I managed to get it back together and it’s now working perfectly!
Now I can get on with playing with LVGL

The wifi on these is so bad, so lucky that I bought the Ethernet version.
Has anybody found a way to stop this screen from flickering during OTA?
Does it happen over USB as well? I typically only flash by usb and don’t see any flickering. I noticed some of the earlier codes by people have some weird libraries and display settings that did it. I wrote mine from scratch and I don’t see it anymore.
No only over Wi-Fi
This is my config. I removed the "CONFIG_SPIRAM_XIP_FROM_PSRAM: y " because my ESP won’t boot if I use it.
