ESPHome Designer question

ESPHome

Hi! I just tried ESPHome Designer, but can’t even get a working YAML out of it for my setup.
i use a ESP32 Dev board and a react 2.13 e-ink spi display.

When I setup the display in ESPHome designer and copy the yaml afterwards, ESPHome complains about missing SPI, missing CS and DC Pins (they are set in the Designer) and an unknown last_page_switch_time variable. I tried to add those parts manually, the yaml will compile, but nothing happens on my display. I had a vey basic config runnning on it, buid ‘by hand’, showing some text, so i know that the display is actually working. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

You may want to ask here:

or even better here

You could try posting your yaml correctly formatted here then we will be able to see what is wrong.

Yes it did create non working yaml for me too.
It took a few minutes to get it working. For me most of the issues was lambda formatting.

But the tool is great for the visual drawing of the screens, then you just tidy up the yaml and it’s all good.
