For a long time I have had multiple RGB panels in my house that are a clock and weather display. I have worked from home for 20 years and I need to know the time to jump on calls and such. It was based on a project I found on Adafruit but it proved to be really unreliable. They often dropped off the WiFi and when the mqtt server is down, they go down.
So then I found this AWESOME project that makes the ESP32-Trinity work with ESPHome.
I am almost feature complete - just have not nailed down the scrolling and message like the clock I am replacing. I use it to show caller id, license plates in the driveway, and other house alerts (like wild fire smoke and such). I just need to fine tune the sensor or something - so I can send in JSON with color and such. Oh and maybe use the light sensor they come with to control brightness locally.
Right now if you set the text sensor it scrolls that, then you clear it, it goes back to temp/aqi/humid.
Also the night mode boolean is because at 10pm and 45 min before sunrise all my lights shift from night-mode-red to day-mode-warm white.
I apologize that I lifted the scrolling text from somewhere but I forgot to note where, so you out there…your code worked!
Once I have a few things cleaned up I’ll drop this in my gh repo with my other yaml’s but in the meantime hack at it and make it yours!
