May I ask a simple question: where do i make the edit to invert the color so the background is black?
I am not sure about easier examples, but I suggest you to do few elements at a time and figure out little by little. When itâs ok you add another part of code
Nise project. Have orderd the components and started working on my sensors in HA, but Iâm struggeling to validate my configuration.
In configuration.yaml i got: sensor: !include_dir_list sensors/
and in folder sensors i got: Weatherman_motion.yaml
The content of the file is:
platform: template
sensors:
binary_sensor:
name: "Weatherman Motion Detected"
unique_id: "dfa78de7-d761-425f-9731-86f1af332eac"
device_class: "occupancy"
delay_off: 1min
state: >-
{% if states('binary_sensor.motion_sensor_home_security_motion_detection_3') == 'on' or states('binary_sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_73cfb702_on_off') == 'on' %}
on
{% else -%}
off
{% endif -%}
The template is working, but something is wrong in my format?
When i push test configuration it just keep spinning.
Kind of frusterating that i can not figure out the errorâŚ
Same structure and âerrorâ on the weather template sensorsâŚ
if itâs a template, shouldnât it be something like:
template: !include configurations/general/template.yaml
and then in the file something like:
- sensor:
- name: potenza_istantanea_totale_PT_PI
unit_of_measurement: 'W'
state: '{{ states("sensor.shelly_shem_bcff4dfcd7bf_1_current_consumption") |float + states("sensor.shelly_shem_bcff4dfce165_1_current_consumption") | float }}'
I have 2 of these working, and since the update of ESPHome to properly support the V7,5altV2, the quality has improved a lot, no more greasy pictures.
But I DO have a kind of âburn inâ-effect. Of course, this does not exactly exist on an ePaper, but you know what I mean.
Any way to really clean the screen?
This is my config:
display:
- platform: waveshare_epaper
cs_pin: GPIO15
dc_pin: GPIO27
busy_pin: GPIO25
reset_pin: GPIO26
reset_duration: 2ms
model: 7.50inV2alt
update_interval: 60s
what is the effect? Can you share a picture?
Have you tried with
auto_clear_enabled: True
?
Autoclear does not do anything for me (isnât it defaulted to âtrueâ if not set?).
So I tried adding a routine that fills the screen black and then white for a minute every 24 hours. Below is my code, but it doesnât work as expected; I am getting just a white screen after reboot and the code never seems to continue. What am I doing wrong?
display:
lambda: |-
if (millis() % 86400000 < 120000) {
// Within the first 2 minutes of the day
epaper_display->fill(esphome::Color(0));
epaper_display->display(); // Display the black screen
delay(60000); // 1 minute delay in milliseconds
epaper_display->fill(esphome::Color(1));
epaper_display->display();
delay(60000);
} else {
.....Rest of my normal display routine....
I had to specify it otherwise it didnât properly clear my screen
My code is the follwing and I donât have your problem
display:
- platform: waveshare_epaper
cs_pin: GPIO15
dc_pin: GPIO27
busy_pin: GPIO25
reset_pin: GPIO26
model: 7.50inV2alt
update_interval: 1200s
rotation: 90°
auto_clear_enabled: True
lambda: |-
The only difference is the
reset_duration: 2ms
that I havenât set

The new ESPHome 2023.12.0 - 20th December 2023 seems to break the shutdown, restart och refresh functions. I can´t find what causes this, anyone has any ideea?

Chceck if ids were not renamed. Some of mine were renamed by adding underscore and number to the ids, so the old ones were not active.
Iâm not sure at what point ESPhome broke this as I havenât had to update the display in many, many months (itâs actually still running on the old FW) but now itâs so far out of date I copied the ESPhome data to a new file so that I can avoid breaking things while testing to compile.
However I am stuck, I do not understand why it will not compile. Below is the error and my ESPhome yaml, any help would be appreciated!

That was the case, thanks! They hade created a new entity with _2 in the end
The images are loaded from this heading

You just need the make sure the entity matches your accuweather ID.
There are icons from memory that load here that you must have.

Here is my take on e-ink dashboard for weekly calendar/forecast/events.
Wanted to use the big screen of Inkplate10 for most of static HA daily data.

Been wanting to try building this for so long and eventually got the hardware for Christmas. Been playing with it today, got things working but currently the text colour is black with the background a kind of grey (off white) colour. Is there any way to force it to have black background and white text?
Iâve played with different code under the âcolor:â tag but no luck. Screen it a Waveshare 800Ă480, 7.5inch black and white.
My yaml looks like this:
