A python script for fetching a [Lovelace dashboard](https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/) from [HomeAssistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) on micropython on an [Inky Frame](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-inky-frame).
If you want to use it, follow the [getting started guidance at Pimoroni](https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-inky-frame). Clone this repo, and save `inky-lovelace.py` as `main.py` on your Inky Frame.
## Known Bugs
* I'm still not sure how time zones work on the Inky Frame
* It's not working correctly for me when on battery, despite working fine on USB...
These are all web sites, videos, and references I used when putting it together.
## Micropython
- [Inky Frame micropython from Pimoroni](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/examples/inky_frame)
- I pulled the SD card code from [image_gallery_sd.py](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/examples/inky_frame/image_gallery/image_gallery_sd.py)
- I pulled the Wifi connection code from [RTC Clock Demo](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/examples/inky_frame/inky_frame_rtc_demo.py)
- I couldn't find any examples or documentation for how to use [pngdec](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/modules/pngdec), which is the library for decoding and displaying PNG images. Luckily, it works a lot like [jpegdec](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/modules/jpegdec) and so I used the same APIs and it worked.
* [HACS](https://hacs.xyz/): extra customisation framework that basically all Home Assistant users should have
* [Kiosk Mode](https://github.com/maykar/kiosk-mode): installs a "kiosk" mode of a Lovelace dashboard that hides the menu bars and stuff. Perfect for this application.
