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!
