Philipp Ehses b73f1e0455 Fixes day/night detection and an indentation bug
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.

Context

This is part of the ecosystem for my Home Assistant configuration.

Hardware

Closeup

Software

  • ESPHome
  • Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi as a remote server

Installation

  1. 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.
  2. Copy /fonts, /images, and weatherman.yaml to your /.config/esphome folder.
  3. Integrate the content of sensor.yaml to your Home Assistant template configuration YAML file.
  4. Install HA-GTFS-RT to your Home Assistant using HACS.
  5. Once booted, flash weatherman.yaml the ESP32 board using ESPHome.
  6. Enjoy!
