[FEATURE REQUEST] Add display icon + text + status bar about esphomatrixv2 HOT 13 CLOSED

Yes this would be nice but i have redesign the code before. I am planning a more object orientated design which will make also the screen identifier #83 thingy possible.

from esphomatrixv2.

I still don't like the +/- percent to determine the color and adding progress to the queue. The color must be a parameter and the progress (or even better percentage) must not be a "global" variable. Theses are all reasons to put effort into this #96.

But at last, the result on the display is nice and useful.

setting the progress color also works fine, an example on the screenshot where the parts are of a different shade

Interesting alternative to Gauge, which can now be displayed only vertically, and will eat up less space on the left, and in my opinion more informative and convenient.

Can you give me an approximate time frame, I can make my proposed changes to 83.
I can also try to make an Icon with data display. But I would not like to disturb you, if everything will be well with my free time, I plan to do it today tomorrow.

I made the changes (2023.09 based), but I need to check them since I did them in a regular editor on my phone (no access to a computer), I'll try to check for errors and typos today, build the firmware, upload it to the display.
If I don't notice any regression, I will do a Pull Request, only thing is that it will be one commit (sorry).

@andrewjswan thank you, I tested the screen, and so far I haven't noticed any problems. Is it possible as a suggestion to consider specifying a color for the strip? for example, by analogy with the id, through the sign | if an array of colors is specified, then we take it, if not, then as now from red to green.

@malinovsku You can't use | because it's int, but I can suggest red to green and green to red, it's very easy to do. It is possible to specify one color for the whole progress, or an array of colors as it is done in Gauge, but it must be stored somewhere, and this is at least one Color or an array of Color[100], and it is necessary to make a separate call to specify the array or to specify the color.
I haven't found how to specify for HA this parameter is optional in the service registered in ESPHome.
Maybe @lubeda has some ideas.

Progress in MODE_ICON_PROGRESS screen:

• 0 .. -100 - from Green to Red
• 0 .. 100 - from Red to Green

The color must be a parameter

I think it is more convenient to set only a percentage, and get automatic color, rather than to set separately, r, g, b, in my opinion, we need to get away from the individual channel to an array of rgb.

I still don't like the +/- percent to determine the color and adding progress to the queue.

Me too, but it was the easiest option :)

I can add a function to set the color for the progress bar and background, ie by default colors will be Black, and then will work automatically calculate the color depending on the progress, if set colors, it will be filled with them.

Complete... We can close. :)
