ESPHome-display_layout

An organizer of content to be displayed on an LED matrix

A 'widget' represents something that is to be presented upon a esphome display component.

This components is an organizer of 'widgets'; It solves the following problems:

• I have a widget which only should be displayed when it fails to match value 'x'
• I want my widgets to re-oragnize themselves if one becomes hidden
• I want some widgets to align themselves to the left/right
• I want a single widget to span any leftover space between the left/right-aligned widgets
• I want to minimize and constrain writes to only locations on the display that need writing to

The library includes a number of different widgets:

• Twitch.tv Chat
• Arbitrary Image (for twitch streamer online icons)
• H:M:S time
• Month/Date
• High/Medium/Low Temperatures
• Weather status
• PSN Friend Status
• Network TX/RX State
• Framerate visualization

Getting Started

1. Add the repostitory as an external_component

   external_components:
     - source: github://w531t4/ESPHome-display_layout@main
       refresh: 1s
   

2. Add the following to your esphome yaml to make the headerfiles accessible

   display_layout:
     id: my_layout
   

To-do

There's a bunch of glue that currently lives in the esphome yaml that still needs to be brought into this component and exposed as arguments to display_layout:
