I’ve set up a Waveshare 7.5" e-Paper display near my front door using ESPHome (similar to Use ESPHome with e-ink Displays to blend in with your home decor, but I’m struggling to design a clean layout that shows just the right amount of info (weather, transit, etc.) without looking cluttered. Currently, my GTFS-RT bus times overflow the frame, and weather icons feel too small.
Specific issues:
- How are you prioritizing/formatting data for small e-Paper screens? (Font sizes? Dynamic hiding?)
- Any tricks to make weather icons more visible without sacrificing transit updates?
- Does anyone use templates to swap layouts based on time/day? (e.g., simpler at night.)
(Reference: My hardware matches yours—Waveshare 480x800 + ESP32—but my YAML is a mess!)
