I’m using Seeedstudio 7.5" epaper with ESP32C to display info from Life360 - So I can see in the morning if my older teenagers are home after working in a nightclub - So I’ve managed to display the info in HA but doesnt seem to give nothing but errors when trying to get it to display on the epaper. no matter i code it as a sensor or a text.sensor I get nothing but errors. I’m show im missing something simple
Please please stop posting pictures of text files.

Also note that 7.50inv2 is not a valid model (case matters)
Seeed epaper wilki has it a 7.50inv2 in their sample code.

Anyone have a working config for model 7.5in-e? I can’t get anything running.
