inky-lovelace
A python script for fetching a Lovelace dashboard from HomeAssistant on micropython on an Inky Frame.
Example
Here's what it looks like
Installing
If you want to use it, follow the getting started guidance at Pimoroni. 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...
Background Notes
These are all web sites, videos, and references I used when putting it together.
Micropython
- Inky Frame micropython from Pimoroni
- I pulled the SD card code from image_gallery_sd.py
- I pulled the Wifi connection code from RTC Clock Demo
- I couldn't find any examples or documentation for how to use pngdec, which is the library for decoding and displaying PNG images. Luckily, it works a lot like jpegdec and so I used the same APIs and it worked.
