TFT ILI9341 Touchscreen Event in Home Assistant

1

Hi all,

I am running a ili9341 2.8" TFT display on an ESP32 with ESPHome.
TFT and Touchscreen is working well.

The touch event is also captured. At the moment I am writing to the log and I can see it when I connect to the ESP log file.

But how can I send an event to Home Assistant when the TFT is touched? Maybe sending the X/Y values would be also good.

I don’t want to paste my full code here, but this is the part related to the touchscreen:


touchscreen:
  platform: xpt2046
  id: my_touchscreen
  cs_pin: 14
  interrupt_pin: 2
  update_interval: 50ms
  report_interval: 1s
  threshold: 400
  calibration_x_min: 324
  calibration_x_max: 3759
  calibration_y_min: 3885
  calibration_y_max: 404
  swap_x_y: false
  on_touch:
      - lambda: |-
            ESP_LOGI("cal", "x=%d, y=%d, x_raw=%d, y_raw=%0d",
                id(my_touchscreen).x,
                id(my_touchscreen).y,
                id(my_touchscreen).x_raw,
                id(my_touchscreen).y_raw
                      );
