Esphome & nextion tft lcd

[sender]

ok, can be done. in the editor need to set “isbr” to true.

@sender

One burning remaining question:

How can I send such a TFT file via ESPhome!? I do want to be able to change the layout of the display later on without opening a steady mounting case to hassle with an SD card… possible?

Question is now black (burned)

[Vlak5364 (Re De Valk)]

Dear People, I have a problem with my esphome configuration with an nextion display. Actually I have it completely working, only I get an annoying message. I use a number of sensors that I want to show on page 3. Now I have the config so that this also happens. But if I am now on a different page then I get a warning (yellow) in my log from my esphome (see attachment). I expect to somehow have to point my sensors to page3 but I just don’t know how to do this. i hope you can help me with this.

Hi!
I’m trying to display the state of the binary sensor ON and OFF, I can’t display it on the screen, I’ve tried various options but unsuccessfully.

sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant   # Kitchen window
    id: win_kitchen
    entity_id: sensor.window_kitchen

and

display:
  - platform: nextion
    id: teplomer
    update_interval: 5s
    lambda: |-
               it.set_component_text_printf("winkitchen","%",id(win_kitchen).state);

I try %s (String of characters) but nothing. How to print binary state of sensor?
Log of esphome [00:15:32][W][homeassistant.sensor:014]: Can’t convert ‘ON’ to number!

P.S. It is work i understand

text_sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant   # Kitchen window
    id: win_kitchen
    entity_id: sensor.window_kitchen

and 
   it.set_component_text_printf("winkitch","%s",id(win_kitchen).state.c_str());            

[MrTeaIOT (MrTea)]

I try to get mine to work but I got error from the esphome log screen “received unknown filler end bytes from Nextion!”. What did I do wrong? I check all the examples but unable to get it to work with esphome.

[MrTeaIOT (MrTea)]

On the esphome long it showed message of “Sending command ‘t0.txt=Hellooo’ failed because no ACK was received … : Waiting for ACK timed out!” but nothing on the display. I flip the tx and rx but still same result.

[SenexCrenshaw]

I’m plugging my nextion PR for esphome.

Nextion upload and sensors

It has a ton of improvements, including tft Ota. We are working hard on getting this merged.

[gijsje (Gijs)]

Been following what your are doing and thanks for that.
Will the documentation also be updated?

[SenexCrenshaw]

There is a PR for it and will be updated once we get closer to merging. I actually am planning on updating it soon though.

[HFsi]

Hi!
Did you solve this?

[sender]

Hi, long time no see. After a few updates of a lot of stuff further my text sensor is not properly filled anymore in the display. Also I get errors but I do not know what they mean. Anyone able to direct?

What command is deprecated?

I believe this is relevant:

uart:
  rx_pin: D7
  tx_pin: D5
  baud_rate: 9600

display:
  - platform: nextion
    lambda: |-
      it.set_wait_for_ack(false);
      it.set_component_text("t10", id(t10_text).state.c_str());

text_sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: t10_text
    entity_id: sensor.nextiont0_text
  - platform: homeassistant

    entity_id: sensor.nextiondim_text
  - platform: homeassistant

There must be more code.
The log says you are asking for a variable from nextion that does not exist.

These are the nextion variables, make sure all is still in the tft/hmi file

[sender]

100% all is in. It used to work when I made it at that time. No errors then.

But what does these mean:
[13:53:56][E][nextion:1107]: This command is deprecated
[13:53:56][V][component:199]: Component nextion.display took a long time for an operation (0.08 s).

[13:53:56][W][nextion:395]: Nextion reported variable name invalid!

[Hellis81]

First three don’t know for sure.
The last one is that the ESP is asking for a variable that is not there or not global.

My guess is that the fourth one is the reason for the other three.

[sender]

Ok, but how do I discover what command is deprecated then?
