I`m preparing a release

[lubeda]

Hi there,
in the last time there were so many new features added (thanx @andrewjswan a) that it is now necessary to restructure the repo, clean it up and make the documentation easier to read and understand. I'm preparing it in the 2024.1.0-prerelease branch.

So stay calm, until the new release (with no new features), I suggest using the 2023.9.1 branch.

See you soon.

Happy New Year Lubeda!

[andrewjswan]

Happy New Year!

Hi, I'm testing the pre release and the text supposed to be the date over the calendar icon is just a blinking exclamation mark. Is this issue the right place to report bugs ?

[lubeda]

This is bug in your YAML. Somehow the display gets no time. Check your configuration and the log

[fthiery]

I double checked (md5sum) and the ulanzi-easy.yaml file is 100% identical to the one from the install/ folder of this repo (i did create a secrets.yaml file containing the ota and wifi passwords -- you may want to update this in the Readme btw, because it still suggests editing the ulanzi-easy.yaml file directly).

Plus, i DO get the time (just not the day):

Can you edit the log-level to debug a post a new log?

logger:
  level: DEBUG

I tried it on two devices, and it works for me. We have to investigate a bit.

can you also provide this part of your config?

external_components:
  - source:

As i said, i did not touch the yaml file, so the external_components part is:

external_components:
  - source:
      type: git
      url: https://github.com/lubeda/EspHoMaTriXv2
      ref: "2024.1.0"
    refresh: 600s 
    components: [ ehmtxv2 ]   

[lubeda]

OK,
one thing you have to transtlate the weekdays from german to french , just add the weekdays line to your config.

ehmtxv2: 
  weekdays: "DiLuMaMeJeVeSa"

And please try again.

[fthiery]

Thanks for the suggestion, which i tried; no change unfortunately:

Now i have the same bug! I think you have to use 2023.9.1 until i found the problem.

désolé ;-) I like spending my holiday time in France, mostly in the Bretagne and Normandy.

[fthiery]

Oh, strange that you did not reproduce 1 hour ago... But i'm glad you do now. No problem i can wait ! Vielen Dank ;)

[lubeda]

strange

The icon name in the sample was wrong:

This will work:

on_empty_queue:
    then:
      - lambda: |-
          id(rgb8x32).set_infotext_color(20,20,20,20,20,20,false,1);
          id(rgb8x32).icon_clock("calendar|day#0",1440,10,false);

[fthiery]

Great, that did it, it works now, many thanks !!!

I'm not sure it is intentional but you commited the DEBUG level.

Maybe another, issue, the get_status service call seems to do nothing for me (i open the log in esphome, then run the get_status service within HA -- i expect to see the status in the esphome logs, but i see nothing; what am i missing ?)
