In the lambda, you can write code like in any lambda in ESPHome.
This behavior by setting auto_clear_enabled: false. In each cycle, the display is automatically cleared before the lambda is executed. Option called lambda: which will be called every time ESPHome wants to re-render the display. So, first a few basics: When setting up a display platform in ESPHome there will be a configuration Please note that this only applies to displays that can control each pixel In this section we will be discussing how to use ESPHome’s display rendering engine from ESPHomeĪnd some basic commands. So when you want to write some text or sensor values to the screen you will be writing in C++ codeīe simple and to be used without programming experienceīut also be flexible enough to work with more complex tasks like displaying an analog clock. To achieve all this flexibility displays tie in directly into ESPHome’s lambda system. Many things like draw some basic shapes, print text with any font you want, or even show images. Text based displays like 7-Segment displays orĭisplays like the Nextion TFT LCD Display that have their own processors for rendering.īinary displays which can toggle ON/OFF any pixel, like E-Paper displays orįor the last type, ESPHome has a powerful rendering engine that can do Fundamentally, there are these types of displays: The table will have true placed (meaning light up) in the index that we wanna light up, we want the frame number 5 to be lighten up, we put true in the 5th index in the table pattern for 0.The display component houses ESPHome’s powerful rendering and displayĮngine. Technically if we wanted to show zero in the displayer, we would need these certain segments to be lighten up the pattern for one, go to the next index and make another table Local patterns = -this is just ther pattern for 0, if you wanted Technically each number (from 0 to 9) has a certain pattern, so you wanna have a table containing all the appropriate patterns, this would be lots of work so good luck.Of course you wanna be using surface UIsĮach UI would be named after a number, and that number would describe that UIs order so the order does matter, because we need it in the scripting part Make a UI for each number, made up of 7 minor frames, and tweak them until they form a number.These are called 7-segment displayers, making them is pretty easy:
