When I only use the it.print and not the if-else then the text is displayed. But with the if-else statements it is not responding to any changes in the input_boolean.coming from home assistant. The display stays blank. What am I doing wrong?
How stupid of me! I didn’t add the device as an Integration. Now it is working!
And also thanks for the tip to add a line so you can see in the logs what happens.
Hello Gert,
Your funtion for your doorbel should help me to use a max7219 dotmatrix.
So I copied your xxx.yaml file into my esphome xx.yaml file and uploaded it.
error could not find pixelmix8???
It is a great help if you can explain howe you arranged your pixelmix8 file font?
Like to hear.
Theo
ps. the example max7219 7 segment seems like to work. Some leds are light up at least the combination esp wemos d1 print and matrix are working and integrated in HA
