I’m sure I am missing something stupidly obvious, but how do you configure which symbols are displayed on the nexion display suing Marc Fager’s repo?
I have 8 of these setup with incrementing IDs. The ID reports correctly in HA when pressed, but I want to populate the actual boxes on the NSPanel with mdi symboles:
# Buttons on the Lights page
- platform: nextion
name: $device_name Hall Button 0
page_id: 2
component_id: 17
on_click:
- homeassistant.service:
service: switch.toggle
# data:
# entity_id: light.hall_light # Your light for button 1
So I immediately did more digging and foudn that changing the symbol numbers does indeed change the icons.
So follow up questoin… how do I know what symbols the symbol numbers refer to?
notes my own
- platform: homeassistant
id: hall_light
entity_id: light.hall_light
on_value:
then:
- wait_until:
switch.is_on: nextion_init
- lambda: |-
int symbol = 23; #on symbol
if (id(hall_light).state == "off") {
symbol=22; #off symbol
}
id(disp1).send_command_printf("Lights.light0.pic=%i", symbol);
Could anyone share some screenshots of Marc’s HMI file, so I could see which symbols correspond to which number? Nextion editor is windows only so I can’t open the file to see which symbols are included…
If you don’t have a windows computer then Nextion is probably not the correct screen for you.
If you can’t replace the images then it’s not going to be “your” screen.
But I can’t help with your question, I don’t have the HMI file anymore and it’s rather daunting to screenshot the images since you can only fit two images on the screen at the same time if I recall correctly.
