Thanks for your nice work! How can i use this repository? It would be helpful to have an install guide.

After the component 'homeassistant_light_group' moved in the last 7 hours, compiling will break.
Last night it was all ok.
After digging on git, I saw that this component ('homeassistant_light_group') moved to 'homeassistant_common_light'.

You can see the terminal output:

Will be there an update in the YAML-files in your 'homeThing' repo?
I was so happy to make further steps, now I am a little bit stuck...

Thank you

lg tv doesn't work

Describe the solution you'd like
provide the tv type in setup and use different service calls based on type

Describe alternatives you've considered
we could subclass the TVPlayerComponent into RokuTVPlayerComponent and LGTVPlayerComponent

Additional context
service calls are in here https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/webostv/#media-player

Describe the bug
I found this project long long ago, I use a Lilygo T-Display TTGO with Adafruit ANO Scrollwheel for this project. It works well.

After an esphome update recently, my remote doesn't work, it seems like esphome changed something about the fonts, it report bug while complie, so I tried to use the latest main branch to flash my device.

While I flashed successfully and it works well except the rotary, I rotated it but the screen has nothing changed. So I have reviewd the code and compare the latest code with my old one, and I found the rotary PIN is changed in latest branch, eg:

          PIN                latest                 old longlong ago
  rotary_pin_a                 21                           12
  rotary_pin_b                 22                           13
  rotary_left_pin              15                           21
  rotary_right_pin             12                           17
  rotary_up_pin                2                            22
  rotary_down_pin              13                           2
  rotary_select_pin            17                           15

I tried change the PIN in my configuration with the substitutions code, but it still doesn't work.

So what I want to know is whether there are any other changes to this rotary?

Thanks a lot!

To Reproduce

I don’t see the c++ code in the repo, only header files.

Where should I look?

Also, do you have build files checked in?

Describe the bug

Howdy, I have a T-Display-S3 - homeThing installs fine and boots, but the menu doesn't respond to the touch screen.

Additionally by default the two physical buttons do not seem to do any other than wake the screen, I'm pretty sure this is just a matter of GPIO mappings which I'll fix - but perhaps the example config is broken here too.

The touch screen itself is working as I can see in the logs it's correctly registering touches.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Install homeThing on T-Display-S3 using example config.
2. Upon boot try using the menu.

Expected behaviour

To be able to navigate the menu on the touch screen by touching the items and/or using directional swiping gestures.

Describe the bug
Sonos favorites are empty because they rely on a home assistant template

Expected behavior
All the sonos favorites should be listed in the Sources menu

Additional context
I use this template to get favorites formatted for the device but it should load the existing sensor.sonos_favorites

      - name: Sonos Favorites List
        state: 'OK'
        attributes:
          items: '{{ state_attr("sensor.sonos_favorites", "items").values() | list | join("~") }}'

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. start the device with a media player with grouping
2. wait for boot to complete
3. select an item after grouping
4. it goes to the item before the index selected

Expected behavior
the right index is selected

Additional context
the menu is reloaded but the selection list isnt

Support kodi navigation

Describe the solution you'd like
We could have a mode which sends all commands to kodi (rotate left => menu down) to be able to have a basic navigation through kodi.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
Possible features:

• up/down/left/right
• play/pause/stop
• volume up/down
  I think this would only make sense for devices which have a scroll wheel

Describe the bug
The volume isn't updating on music assistant https://github.com/music-assistant/hass-music-assistant

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. pair a music assistant speaker to the device
2. adjust volume

Additional context
I think we're sending "entityIds" instead of "entityId" for the service call so it isn't being accepted

when youre in the now playing menu and you hit the option menu, there are preset options

tv:

• remote menu
• tv power
• back
• home
• pause

speaker:

• shuffle
• mute

we should add custom commands in here so people can do stuff like mute for 30s, toggle a scene, etc

a 3d printed case where the components are mounted by screws. The case could have pogo pins to charge easily.

• fits a lipo
• fits ano rotary controller
• doesn't melt while charging
• passthrough buttons for tdisplays internal buttons
• usbc port hole

The boot menu isn't really useful and it's not clear what's happening for new users

Describe the solution you'd like
It can show all of the states it needs to check off before booting so people can debug what isn't checked off

Describe alternatives you've considered

• loading spinner
• progress bar
• print logs on screen as they come in

Additional context
the remote needs these states before showing the menu

• wifi conneted
• api connected
• all player states read
  without these states the menu is missing labels and updates unexpectedly

Describe the bug
The selection on media player and grouping doesnt line up with the cursor. clicking one media player makes it click an another unpredictable media player

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sensors currently only show numeric values.

Describe the solution you'd like
By pressing the sensor menu item it could show a graph over the last x min/hours

Describe alternatives you've considered
Instead of drawing it could be a solution to receive a png (from HA) and display that. I wouldn't prefer showing pngs because it would require external configuration and I'm not sure it's possible with our device.

Additional context
I investigated a bit and it;s it pretty doable to show a graph. The tricky part is getting the data to show. Natively esphome only supports collecting values over a period of time and show them in a graph. But I would like to see a graph for a sensor even if I just turned on the remote (or return it from deep sleep). Maybe this could be resolved by having ha send an array of values on demand but it would mean external configuration. AFAIK ha doesn't support that natively.

This is a great project @landonr.
I've been meaning to build a smart wall mounted "light switch" with Lilygo's ESP32 Epaper display.
I think the rotary encoder could be a good interface to navigate a simplified dashboard for homeassistant.

Sadly, drawing UX on these displays is not as straightforward as I initially hoped. The EPDiy driver is a starting point, as is the ESPUI library.

I'm leaving this info here since I believe this might be interesting to others too.

Hey,

I love your project and tried to install it on my M5Stack Fire.
I already tried it 3-4 times, but the software keeps rebooting with a watchdog triggering.
Logs attached. I don't know how to proceed, can you point me in the right direction?
Not sure how to continue with debugging. Already removed most of my HomeAssistant entities (scenes, scripts, lights, ...).

I flashed it via ESPHome Web, not sure if this makes any difference.

Regards
Ralf

First of all kudos for this great project!
I've been tinkering with it for a couple of days (tdisplay with rotary wheel) and really am enjoying it especially the rotary wheel 😄

For my use I made the display and sleep timeouts configurable to be able to easily play with them. In my opinion having them hardcoded is not ideal since more users might want to change these values. What do you think?

Do you welcome PRs? I have limited time but would like to contribute to this project.

Media player online image is not generated.
I added in HA the template sensor to create the sensor media_player_image_proxy_url. I also installed and configured imgproxy, I use it a docker container, I can't install it as an addon, as I use HA in docker, but it works properly anyway.
I think the problem is that this template should get the attribute entity_picture from a sensor called active_player.
No such sensor is defined in HA, I see that is defined in the HomeThing code, but is not exported to HA.
If I change the template to get this attribute from the the media_player I am using image generation works.
I think the active_player sensor should also be exposed to HA.
Or maybe i am doing something wrong?
I am using https://github.com/landonr/homeThing/blob/main/tdisplay-s3.yaml

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
add a menu item to trigger voice assist

Describe the solution you'd like

like this https://www.youtube.com/embed/w6QxGdxVMJs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Break out now playing into an optional app / screen

Describe the solution you'd like
make it included in the yaml like this

homeThing:
  apps:
    - id: now_playing
    - id: pomodoro_timer

Additional context
this would let us add apps and games without complicating the existing component

Describe the bug
installed ESPhome and after flashing i get this error on the log. PCF8574 is soldered in the right position.
