Nextion wall mount

Hi there!

In this project I tried to create a simple(?) wall mount with quick and easy access to Home Assistant. The purpose is to have a remote controller, that's mounted on the wall and gives a quick info of the day ... or basically whatever you need from Home Assistant.

Update:

This repo is not maintained anymore, as I'm not using the screen. But I leave the code and resources here for anyone who is looking after ideas :)

Demo video HERE

Features:

Basically everything is connected to Home Assistant through Esphome:

1. Overview - General info:

• Indoor / Outdoor temperature / Rain Forecast + Weather Symbol
• Display Date and Time
• My Facebook Birthay Calendar / Facebook Events / Google Calendar
• Hi! - Automation (lights on, etc)
• Bye! - Automation (music and lights off, etc)
• Play/Pause Media player - Kodi in my case

2. Lights- The important ones:

• Kitchen, Livingoom and Bedroom Lights toggle (Slider not implemented yet)

3. Media - Radio and quick controls:

• 6 stations
• Vol +/-
• Play/Pause button

4. Vacuum Cleaner - Map:

• Clean the place with zones
• Vacuum Controls: play/pause, "TrashSpot", Go home, Set speed
• Stream music on the vacuum

5. Automations - Switches:

• Kitchen plug - for the coffee maker
• Morning routine automation (lights on, music on at for ex. 6:45)
• Wifi status
• Secret menu - but of course
  • Change display brightness
  • Reboot the display
  • Initiate the screensaver (coding still needs to be done)

6. Screensaver

Other features:

• Screen turns off after 1h standby time
• Screen brightness is set based on sun elevation and devices connected to Wifi (group.all_devices)
• Auto refresh every page and relevant variables initialize with correct state data (ex. if the lights are on, switch will turn to on)
• Every registered touch gives a feedback on the buzzer

HW used:

1. Home Assistant
2. Wemos D1 mini - with Esphome
3. Nextion Display - NX4832T035_011
   • Mine is actually TJC4832T035_011 but both are the same(?) HW
   • 3.5inch with a resolution of 480x320
   • Resistive touch
4. A passive buzzer
5. 3D printed case for the wall mount

Resources and SW:

You can find the used resources in the repo. Basically none the SW and HW is actually my work:

• Icons were exported from Material Design Icons - Thanks!
• The weather pictures were taken from Yr Weather Symbols repo - Thanks!
• For Esphome: The basic descriptions from the site is really helpful.
  • A lot of code from various github repos served as a base, tailored to my setup.

Something very important:

This display board is not Nextion!

This is actually TJC. And the HMI file will not open in Nextion Editor -> only USART HMI editor. I'm not sure if the project can be ported either way, but essentially the 2 editors are the same (chinese vs english...)

I barely started this project, just for fun. As I'm no programmer, I still need to work on the coding, but the community comes in handy!
