About

Hi! I am Václav. I am passionate about Home Automation, Photography, Drone flying, but also my work where I help to make products that help with the automation as well. I used to make Photography video tutorials for the Digital Camera magazine, but this is some time ago. Now I decided to post videos here, mainly about Home Assistant.

Video Description

All the videos I made on displays relied on a 3rd party HMI editor. They were nice to create, but how about long-term supportability? Will the programs still be available? Will the libraries be compatible? Some generate C source code and need to be tweaked and compiled - this is a barrier for many of you. And the SquareLine Studio has a lot of limitations unless you get an expensive license. So, I always thought that the best way to make displays for Home Assistant would be in ESPHome. However, the current primitive drawing functions will only allow for a very basic HMI. But this is changing now - the popular LVGL graphics library is coming to ESPHome, with a large library of useful widgets! I got a nice ESP32 5" display from Elecrow, that supports LVGL - so let's take it for the ride.
