Hi there!

I have made my own integration using ESPHome. If anyone is interested, here you can find the full code and instructions.

Hope you like it!

@Brano69 @EnsconcE I was able to fix the error by changing the C++ lambda and was able to compile under ESPHome 2025.5.2. Maybe there are some breaking changes in the newer ESPHome releases.

I have raised an issue on GitHub Compile error and solution · Issue #2 · Skons/M5Dial · GitHub

Pretty basic and I need to upload the transparent web icons although these are easy to find online and are in the esphome directory directly. YAML needs some tweaking. Hope to have some updates. Not a developer so a lot of it is pieces (specifically the LVGL) from others I managed to get working together.

This one has popped up in more threads probably then any other issue regarding whyy something in HA can’t be controlled from an ESPHome device. I had the same issue with the first device that either controlled or read sensor data from HA and not something directly attached to the ESP32 pins. I know it’s documented but it’s just one of those things deep in the settings were most don’t go. I think I spent a good 2 hours the first time, assuming I was doing something wrong, before doing a search and immediate face palm after checking one box resolved everything. Wasn’t even aware it was an option until then. The good thing is you will never forget it in the future.
