Installing ESPhome on GEEKMAGIC Smart Weather Clock (smalltv/pro)

ESPHome

I've taken some notes from here and messed around with Gemini and made FW for the ESP8266 no touch version. It's essentially a clock, current conditions, a forecast and a calendar. It's working well, but if there are no events for the day it displays some weird text that I haven't gotten around to troubleshooting. I'm sure it's an easy fix.

In addition to this I had to create some input text helpers and an automation to update them for the forecast and calendar.

We mainly look at this thing while we're brushing our teeth in the morning, so a minimal outlook for the day is nice and this accomplishes that.

If the hive mind here sees any improvements, don't be shy.

I've got this basic version as well, i was thinking U3 might be for a ch340 on the rear but don't see a place for any auto-reset circuitry. i guess GVO could be for pulling GPIO 0 high or low maybe?

Your software is very good. I hope you’ll continue to develop it and fix bugs. There’s an option to upload an image, but unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to display it in slideshows.

I’d like to add the “GeekMagic SmallTV Pro” to devices.esphome.io. Based on the many posts here (thank you very much for those!), I’ve put together this basic configuration following the guidelines from devices.esphome.io. Since I don’t own a GeekMagic SmallTV Pro myself, I’d be very grateful if one of you could test whether the configuration below actually works on the device (it compiles, at least).

I’ve tested your code on my device, works fine (see the attached picture showing the RGB pattern). I put the device in boot mode and flashed the factory binary file using the ESP Home web tool.

Thank you so much for the test and the photos - they’re a big help!

May I use the photos for the documentation on devices.esphome.io?

Sure, you can use the photos as you wish. I am not allowed to attach more than one in a single post.

PR is ready to merge. Thanks again.

FYI it is already part of the new device builder, when you add a new device
