Every screen gets two template buttons, Wake and Sleep, for automations
(button.press on button.<screen>_wake / _sleep). Wake does what a tap does:
a dimmed screen runs wake_display, a screen that is on only restarts the
standby count. Sleep dims right away through dim_display, also with Auto
standby off, and closes an alert that is up (reported as remote); it is
ignored during a touch calibration.
A new non-restored flag, sleep_requested, keeps that standby in place:
dim_display dims with standby off, and apply_screen_settings, which runs
every minute, no longer wakes such a screen. wake_display clears it (a tap,
Wake, an alert), and so does the Auto standby switch when it really turns
standby off. Nothing is saved, so the buttons cost no flash writes and may
run on every motion.
The Claude skill, README, add-on docs and RELEASING describe both buttons.
Checked on host builds of both boards over the native API, 24 checks each
(timer, Sleep with Auto standby off across a minute tick, alert,
calibration), and with ESP32 builds of both Easy profiles (+336 B RAM).
Firmware 0.2.45.

Holding the top bar for about a second and a half opens a settings page on the
screen, with a blue line filling along the top edge while you hold. A built-in
screen.settings tile and the esphome.<screen>_open_settings action open it too.
The page is one constexpr table of rows in settings_screen.h: Brightness,
Night, Screen (clock, back to page 1, swiping, rotation) and This screen (name,
address, firmware, Home Assistant, Restart). Toggles flip on a tap, numbers and
times step with -/+ (a held time walks whole hours), a choice cycles in a chip,
and a row that depends on a switch above it is greyed out. The LVGL objects exist
only while the page is open: +608 bytes of RAM and +10.7 KB of flash on the CYD.
A change is saved, applied and reported through the existing screen_setting
event, so ESP Screens shows the same value within a second.
New setting auto_home (default on, 2 minutes): an open card, the settings page
or a later page goes back to page 1 after that long without a touch, not only on
standby. It travels beside the frozen eleven-key settings block with its own
preference, so older firmware and older apps keep working.
docs/SETTINGS.md is the recipe for adding a setting; the Claude skill explains
the page. Firmware 0.2.44.
