A simple dashboard with weather data, current playing music & data from Home Assistant for ESPHome.
Day/night detection is used in sensor.yaml to select the appropriate weather icon (e.g. 'sunny' vs 'night'). The previous if condition did not work for the weather_condition_x states, when the _now state was in a different part of the day/night cycle. This commit should fix this issue, as long as weather_condition_x is not too far in the future (not more than one day or night phase). Additional bug fix: - fix an indentation bug in weatherman.yaml |

Weatherman Dashboard for ESPHome
I have multiple dashboards around my apartment and they display different information depending on the context. Since this is placed near the front door, it contains concise information for what's outside with a homey style to match the rest of the wall.
This is part of the ecosystem for my Home Assistant configuration.
Hardware
- Waveshare 7.5" e-Paper Screen - 480x800 display resolution
- Waveshare Universal e-Paper Driver Board with ESP32
- Ikea RIBBA Picture Frame 5"x7"
- Legrand 3 Way Switch + USB
- Micro USB Thin Ribbon Cable
- Angled USB Thin Ribbon Cable
Software
- ESPHome
- Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi as a remote server
Installation
- No soldering is required since the e-Paper driver board was integrated into the ESP32 board. All I needed to do was to connect the e-Paper screen to the driver board, and then connect the driver board to the USB socket on my light switch.
- Copy
/fonts,/images, andweatherman.yamlto your /.config/esphome folder. - Integrate the content of
sensor.yamlto your Home Assistant template configuration YAML file. - Install HA-GTFS-RT to your Home Assistant using HACS.
- Once booted, flash
weatherman.yamlthe ESP32 board using ESPHome. - Enjoy!
Data Sources
- Metno Hourly Weather Forecast HA integration
