ESPHome Add-on fails to load core component 'display.custom'

Hello,

I’m facing a persistent issue with my ESPHome add-on (v2025.8.2) on Home Assistant OS. I’m trying to configure a display, but ESPHome is unable to load its own core ‘custom’ display platform.

I would like to use this panel :

CrowPanel Advance 4.3inch HMI|ESP32-S3 AI-Powered IPS Touch Screen (800x480) Support LVGL

But :

display:

  • platform: st7265

is not accepted and returns always errors

Thanks for your help

What is that?

You can try with:

 - platform: ili9xx

or

 - platform: mipi_spi

Thanks for your answer, but this display runs with a ST7265 in rgb // mode.

@Aldec Have you solved your problem? I have a CrowPanel Advanced 7 and nothing is displayed, probably because the backlight is not controlled correctly. With hardware version 1.2, it seems to work differently (according to the wiki).
