Fahrenheit

[geddyleefan]

I searched and didn't find what I was looking for here, so I made my own changes to display the temperature in F and thought I'd post in case anyone else found it useful. I changed my sensor section to this:

sensor:
  - platform: aht10
    i2c_id: bus_b
    variant: AHT20
    temperature:
      filters:
        - lambda: return x * (9.0/5.0) + 32.0;
      unit_of_measurement: "°F"
      name: "Temperature"
      id: s3temp
    humidity:
      name: "Humidity"
    update_interval: 60s

I'm not great at things like that, so thanks Reddit :)

And changed this line:
it.printf(160, 180, id(my_fontseg2), light_blue, TextAlign::CENTER, "%.f°C", id(s3temp).state);
to this:
it.printf(160, 180, id(my_fontseg2), light_blue, TextAlign::CENTER, "%.f°F", id(s3temp).state);

It would be nice to have a way to switch from C to F without having to modify the YAML on your own though. Next, I'll figure out 12-hour time, that would also be a nice option to have.

Also, this project is awesome! Thank you so much BigBobbas, I'm really enjoying having this on my Box-3.

Hi, thanks for your support!
I saw rush in the UK in the late 80's - Awesome experience. 👍 thought i would get that out of the way first!

That's a great tip regarding the temp ... I will be updating the docs in the next day or so. and am hoping to add an update to the config later today to add timers, wake sound (can turn on and off from the device) also a few other enhancements and tweaks.

I will see if there is a way to implement these so we can add a button in the setting page, if I can't figure it (or anyone else) then I will add your workaround to the docs and also the 12hr as both would be a nice addition.

Cheers

Next, I'll figure out 12-hour time, that would also be a nice option to have.

I customized my saver_page to have 12hr time, as well as show a second temperature (note that I'm using sensors from HASS, not the onboard temp sensor).

- id: saver_page
  lambda: |-
    it.fill(Color::BLACK);
    it.strftime(160, 20, id(my_font3), light_grey, TextAlign::CENTER, "%A %d %b", id(ha_time).now());
    it.strftime(160, 82, id(my_fontseg2), blue_drk, TextAlign::CENTER, "%l:%M", id(ha_time).now());
    it.strftime(160, 155, id(my_fontseg4), blue_drk, TextAlign::CENTER, "%p", id(ha_time).now());
    it.printf(10, 230, id(my_fontseg3), purple, TextAlign::BOTTOM_LEFT, "%.f°", id(mc_temp).state);
    it.printf(310, 230, id(my_fontseg3), green_drk, TextAlign::BOTTOM_RIGHT, "%.f°", id(outdoor_temp).state);

[BigBobbas]

my_fontseg3 and my_fontseg4 need to be added under the font: block. you can do this by copying and pasting my_fontseg then renaming and changing the font 'size' . I am not sure what size was used, but you could try sample below and then tweak to suit.
so something like:

- file: "https://github.com/BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome/raw/main/fonts/DSEG7Classic-Regular.ttf"
    id: my_fontseg3
    size: 30
 - file: "https://github.com/BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome/raw/main/fonts/DSEG7Classic-Regular.ttf"
    id: my_fontseg4
    size: 50

where do you suppose he's putting those id's?
id(mc_temp).state);
id(outdoor_temp).state);

And btw is there a way to make the screen saver brighter?

[BigBobbas]

those id's will be from sensors added from HA you would need to add your own sensors and give them id:'s to suit.
if you look at the instruction guide here https://github.com/BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-

ESPHome/blob/main/instructions/make%20it%20your%20own.md#displaying-sensor-information
it shows how to add sensors from HA you can then use those id's on the 'saver_page` instead of the default onboard sensor.

To change the brightness.
look in the yaml under the script: block and you can change the value from brightness: 30% to whatever you wish.

  - id: saver_enabled_manual
    then:
      - if:
          condition: 
            switch.is_on: s_saver 
          then:
            - light.turn_on: 
                id: led
                brightness: 30%
            - display.page.show: saver_page
            - component.update: s3_box_lcd
      - if:
          condition:
            - switch.is_on: s_saver_mode            
          then:
            - delay: 180s
            - light.turn_off: led
    mode: restart 

I hope this helps.

Cheers

ok i got that figured out now, thank you. but for the humidity sensor i get an error with this. i'm assuming "%.", is breaking it. not sure what to put there tbh so i guessed lol

/config/esphome/esphome-web-0503cc.yaml:1281:72: error: conversion lacks type at end of format [-Werror=format=]
it.printf(310, 230, id(my_fontseg3), amber, TextAlign::BOTTOM_RIGHT, "%.", id(humid).state);
^~~~
/config/esphome/esphome-web-0503cc.yaml:1281:72: error: too many arguments for format [-Werror=format-extra-args]

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

wait i figured it out reading esp docs

[MetalOnes]

My bad, here's the font definitions I used:

  - file: "https://github.com/BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome/raw/main/fonts/DSEG14Classic-Regular.ttf"    
    id: my_fontseg
    size: 72

  - file: "https://github.com/BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome/raw/main/fonts/DSEG7Classic-Regular.ttf"
    id: my_fontseg2
    size: 76

  - file: "https://github.com/BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome/raw/main/fonts/DSEG7Classic-Regular.ttf"
    id: my_fontseg3
    size: 44
  
  - file: "https://github.com/BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome/raw/main/fonts/DSEG14Classic-Regular.ttf"    
    id: my_fontseg4
    size: 40

where do you suppose he's putting those id's?
id(mc_temp).state);
id(outdoor_temp).state);

Those are defined under sensors.

sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: mc_temp
    entity_id: sensor.man_cave_temperature
    internal: true

  - platform: homeassistant
    id: outdoor_temp
    entity_id: sensor.wupws_temp
    internal: true

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

I added a tweak to it but it's working. I wish I could change the bar beside the humidity to a % but nothing I tried worked. I guess they use the bar for reference to humidity level just seems odd lol

[youkorr]

my sensor was already created

[youkorr]

I'm going to start compiling

[youkorr]

my font6 is too big I have to reduce it

[youkorr]

It is true that the % does not work

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

i'm trying something now to see if it fixes it. and it's only doing that for the humidity sensor not the temp

[BigBobbas]

if % isn't showing still try adding

    glyphs:  '%'

to the font you are using for humidity

[BigBobbas]

i'm just testing now... i'm in the middle of adding the config for timers and some other things like a 'beep' for wakeword detected..

Yes - adding the full range fixed it for me

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

still not working. who would have thought something so small would be so annoying lol

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

i even tried

• platform: homeassistant
  id: humid
  unit_of_measurement: "%"
  entity_id: sensor.home_current_humidity
  internal: true

[BigBobbas]

i have a feeling the font may not support it.
I'm just compiling with a different font ....
and....
it works! ... using my_font2

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

i'm just testing now... i'm in the middle of adding the config for timers and some other things like a 'beep' for wakeword detected..

looking forward to that config!

[BigBobbas]

[BigBobbas]

tried the DSEG7Classic-Regular.ttf and just get the block instead of the %

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

right, should have caught that in your previous post lol. ..brain doesn't work at this hour

[BigBobbas]

well you can't go to sleep until we see a pic with a % sign lol

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

compiling now. had to realign some things. the consola threw everything off

[BigBobbas]

🥁

[IdiotTryingToFindWay]

Alright I'm going to bed now lol

[BigBobbas]

what is the config of the sensor ?

[youkorr]

I think I was wrong

• platform: homeassistant
  id: tv
  entity_id: switch.prise_tv_mss315_main_channel
  internal: true

[youkorr]

it's a switch

[youkorr]

after having done several tests nothing is conclusive with this code
if(id(tv).state == "on"){
it.printf(120, 75, id(icon_font_80), yellow,"\U000F07F4");
}

esphome gives me a lot of errors
with this code one can modify = 'on'

if(id(tv).state == 'on'){
it.printf(120, 75, id(icon_font_80), yellow,"\U000F07F4");
}

the compilation is done well but the icon surely appears something wrong

[BigBobbas]

I have moved this as an issue so that I can take a look and easier to track if it is all kept in one place. HERE
