Hi,
I am playing with a 2.13 inches waveshare screen with esphome, but I cannot get anything to be displayed.
I tried with an ESP8266 and an ESP32, but had no luck.
I will check wirings again, but I tried 3 times already to connect the screen. (I am a beginner, anyway)
Anyone did succeed to use that screen?
Thank you!
Is it multicolor one ? ESPHome currently only supports monochrome ones (got same issue with same 3 or 4 colors I got from Aliexpress 
It’s the monochrome one, as far as I can tell.
It’s this: https://www.banggood.com/Waveshare-2_13-Inch-E-ink-Screen-Display-e-Paper-Module-SPI-Interface-Partial-Refresh-For-Arduino-p-1365786.html
Tried the 2.9 inch but it only works if I plug it in after booting up, and keeps refreshing every few seconds. If plugged in it doesn’t boot at all. Would be interested to know if anyone had more success also
For what it’s worth, I have not had great success with WaveShare screens, not just with ESPhome, but even with the demo code. Granted, I am fairly noobish.
Comparatively, I have had much greater success with little OLED screens. The problem I see with WaveShare is that it needs so many pins to make it happen, that it leaves very little for much else useful. OLED, by comparison, is i2c, so, you can do a lot more besides.
I have the same problem
