ESP32-S3 compatibily and M5 Paper S3

ESPHome
1

Hello, not sure I’m understanding this right, but I was looking at the following product: M5PaperS3 ESP32S3 Development Kit (960x540, 4.7" eInk Display, 235 ppi) | m5stack-store

I don’t see it listed in the products compatible with ESPHOME, however, looking at the docs for the M5 Stack I understand they use the same controller:

Can I just then “flash” ESPHOME on the M5 Paper S3 or the support required include the actual HW plugged into the controller?

I’m looking basically for a ready to use epaper display, I would prefer not to build it myself, especially because I like a more polished finish of enclosure, if there is any other product I can consider let me know!

Esp32-s3 doesn’t give you any hard time.
The display probably does. So try to look for support for that.

The device appears to be Waveshare compatible, but that doesn’t mean it will work out of the box if at all.

The compatible displays afor ESPHome are listed here:

Waveshare and Nextion both have nicely finished displays with bevels if you are after ePaper.

Anyone make any progress with this? Just ordered an M5paper s3.
