ESPHome Designer v0.8.0 is now available! :rocket:
I’ve spent a lot of time squashing bugs to make this release as stable as possible. It’s still a work in progress, but I hope it makes designing your displays a little easier.

GitHub: GitHub - koosoli/ESPHomeDesigner: Design ESPHome displays right inside Home Assistant. This HACS integration offers a drag-and-drop editor with direct access to your sensor library via an intuitive entity picker.

Thank you a lot for this wonderful editor, that is really what I, and probably a lot of others, was waiting for.

I’m allready testing and experimenting with it.
I have problems with adding a picture as background on the page. (mapping values are not allowed here → - img:)
Where is it the best place for you to talk about this?

Thank you for the kind words. The next version does not need to be installed on HA at all, it can be deployed like thi ESPHome Designer · YAML Snippet Editor and you can just enter the HA API key to have access to all your sensors, so that is definitly next for the project :slight_smile:
Best way to talk about your issue is with a ticket on the projects Github, I check them almost every day.

Cheers

Really interesting!!!
Thanks for sharing.

I’m a newbie with LVGL and I have just a single question.
I would like to build a main page with some buttons (I don’t know if the term is right) to open another page with specific entity display or entity to manage.

What kind of widget should I use to have it with an icon and some text and how to manage the click?

Thanks!

Hi

I’m trying to use it with a slider to control a light entity, but I can’t see any of them.
I can see switch entities, but no light one.

Thanks

Nice add on! Am trying to create navigation between pages, but am a bit in the dark on how to achieve this. How would I do this?

Hi this is a really cool project
Can you please tell me if it supports partial reload?
Because the eink flickering isnt nice
Thanks Sandra

This looks super cool! I will try this out on a few screens I have!

Can anybody help me getting the calendar widget work
…already copied the helper script but nothing happens

…ok i’m so stupid
partial refresh works flawless
…just click

This is amazing! I was struggling with getting a LVGL project looking the way I wanted and all the other designers I found were pretty lacking. I can’t wait to spend some time trying this out.

Thanks mate!

EDIT: it would seem that the LVGL arc component does not work properly. Changing the start and finish angles doesn’t change anything in the designer layout window.

I am loving this application, thank so you much

Hi. I‘m new to ESPHome a I still don‘t get it. How does the partial refresh work? Thanks!

Hi, I like your project. Thats exactly what I am looking for. But I have some problems for keeping it running. Inside the builder it looks greta. All sensors are working etc. But after pasting the code the e1002 display is just showing the hours and the day for the weather forecast but not the sensor states. What can I do? Thanks for your help. Sebastian
