Puppet eink=2 parameter not working any more

Third party integrations
1

After updating Puppet to version 2.3.0, the eink=2 parameter no longer works I only get a black screen.
In the changelog I found this note:
“Replaces the previous eink parameter approach for limiting colors on e-ink displays.”
However, it’s not clear to me what the new replacement for this parameter is.

The full URL with parameters I’m using is:

http://192.168.1.123:10000/dashboard-display?viewport=800x480&eink=2&format=bmp

Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this issue or what parameter should be used now?

Same thing here!.. Looking at the logs, I found this:

[DEPRECATED] The "eink" query parameter is deprecated. Please use "colors" instead. Example: colors=000000,FFFFFF for black and white.

[eink migration] Converted eink=2 to colors=000000,FFFFFF

It seems it automatically updates the URL, but I still only get a black screen…
Even updating my URL to use “colors=000000,FFFFFF” instead doesn’t work… Not sure what else to try :frowning:

So far, I’ve discovered that they’ve removed the eink parameter for manual settings. You now have to define the colors yourself through the configuration page at homeassistant.local:10000

Here my case, this is all I needed to do

I just have to figure out how to remove the borders from the cards.

Use the zoom.
Probably 1.05 or something

Edit or you meant each card border?
Probably need a different theme then

I created a theme to remove the border, and it works.
You need to create a directory with your own theme name in themes.
I have called my theme no-border-theme
Inside that directory, add a file called no-border-theme.yaml, and in that file you need to add:

no-border-theme:
  ha-card-border-width: '0px'
  ha-card-border-radius: '0px'

After you create the theme, you can select your newly created theme as the active theme.

That solve my issue for the border, @Hellis81 Thank you for thinking along with me.

I was just using “000000,FFFFFF”, but using “000000,FFFFFF,555555” and “000000,FFFFFF,AAAAAA” made it look pretty much like I had it before, thank you!

Now I lost the borders of some of my cards… This change has ruined everything… :frowning:

I think you need to know witch color is the border and add it as color inpute

That’s what I thought, but the border is already black, which is added to the color input:

ha-card {
  border: 2px solid black;
  --secondary-text-color: black;  
}

My other cards have the exact same code, and their borders show just fine. It’s so weird!..

On the GitHub page from Puppet Balloob give the following information

#balloob
Puppet 2.0 no longer supports eink=2, instead you need to define the colors yourself. We have some partial automatic conversion, which should work better with 2.4.1. We recommend to upgrade to defining palette directly.
