Hi, i would like to create a little touchscreen display near the doorbell to display 2 thing, in 1 “dash” a number keyboard to open the smartlock (is a welock, that is added in home assistant) and in a second dash (that if is possible have to be the principal dash, so if i select the pinpad dash, after some minutes have to return to the principal dash). The principal dash have to display a text, like “please leave the pack in front of the door, please” something like that. Is it possible to make it with esp32? And in this case, how i can modify via home assistant or anything else the text? How to switch from pinpad dash to text dash and how i can have a list of password that this touchscreen can validate and then talk to homeassistant to unlock the door? Sorry for my bad english…i’m only to trying the best solution to do that, thank you so much for reading that!
Did you have a search for similar projects?
Also your post title makes it harder for people perusing the forum know if they can assist from a scan. Consider revising it.
Some suggestion about a crazy problem
Even more importantly, did you search the docs

I’m really a newbie for esphome, i only see some piece to buy, but for the software to communicate and to make those pages i’m really a newbie…if you have some paper that i can read it’s really appreciated:)
Changed:) thx:)
The only important thing for me to know is if i can do something like that, in this case i will buy the necessary and play with it
You should be able to do something like that.
If you put in the research and effort.
Esphome and LVGL would probably do what you want but it is quite a learning curve, I’d start off with something simpler if you are new to ESPHome.
I would say pick your display carefully check it and the touchscreen component are supported by ESPHome and make sure the ESP has PSRAM as displays are memory hungry.
With LVGL you have the concept of pages which you can switch between. A good place to start with LVGL is the tips and tricks page which has examples.

I use one of these keypads and it integrates through esphome. Ive made mine configurable from HA to where i can manage the users, user pin codes, and user rfid tags as well as create Guest/Temporary users w/codes and specify the duration they have access by setting a start/stop time and/or setting a date.
It would be simple to add a display to it that outputs custom messages based on what persons pin code is used.
I have another one that uses a 16×4 display with a rotary encoder and the user cycles through numbers with the rotary encoder and selects 1 number at a time to input their Pin/Password and its displayed on the lcd and uses custom messages based on users or wrong pin codes being entered. Its sort of like a combination lock with a display if that makes sense.
