The two board profiles (5,000 lines each, 87 % the same text) become packages/core.yaml and one file per
board under packages/boards/: the hardware, a table of 84 sizes and font sizes, 18 hooks with the lines of C++
only that board adds inside a shared lambda, and the board's own sections. packages/cyd.yaml and
packages/guition.yaml keep their names and places (a screen installed from ESP Screens builds as before);
home-like-2432s028.yaml and guition-4848s040.yaml become the same entries for a checkout.
The firmware stays 0.2.70: the C++ ESPHome generates for each board, through the checkout profile and
through the GitHub package route, was compared line by line with the old profiles' (docs/TEST_RESULTS_0284.md).
tools/check_packages.py replaces tools/generate_packages.py; tools/profiles.py gives the tests and tools the
three files as one; docs/PROFILES.md says how the files fit together and how a board is added.

The page is now web/ (Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript), built into screen_manager/app/static
with hashed file names; server.py serves index.html as built and /assets/. The Python
API, the data and the firmware are unchanged. Your screens sit in a sidebar, the pages
of a screen stand next to each other at the screen's own shape, the library sits on the
right, and a tile's settings slide in as a drawer while the mockup stays in view. New
screen, Firmware & USB, Alerts, Override YAML and Settings are pages of their own.
Fonts moved to web/src/assets; the tests read the source through tests/editor_sources.py.

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.

Firmware 0.2.37 for both boards:
- The analog clock card gets a thin red second hand that moves every second while the
screen is awake (runtime_tiles::screen_awake, set by the profiles from display_dimmed);
in standby it hides and the clock keeps its once-a-minute redraw.
- Card sliders follow HA's control slider: 12/42 and 8/42 corners, a 4 px handle an
eighth of the height from the fill end, a stub of a third of the height at 0 or 1 %,
the track in the fill colour at 20 %. An off light or fan shows only the empty grey
track, also in the colour card's brightness row. A light's slider floors at 1 %.
- Every overlay card shares one top bar: a round back arrow at the left (60/40 px), the
name centred, and only the climate power as a right-hand action. The "done"/"ok"
buttons of the colour and vacuum cards are gone; the brightness card gets its arrow.
- The top bar reads "Connecting to Home Assistant..." / "Waiting for ESP Screens..."
until the first layout, instead of "Choose tiles in HA".
Checked with the host renderer for both boards and on the Guition over USB.

Everything a user sees or reads is now English: both boards' labels,
status replies and logs, the ESP Screens editor and Alerts cheatsheet,
and the README and guides (docs/TILES.md, CALIBRATING.md, ACCEPTANCE.md
and TROUBLESHOOTING.md replace the Dutch file names). Labels follow
Home Assistant's own English names (Heat/Cool modes, Heating/Cooling
actions, Away, Returning to dock, weather conditions), dates use English
abbreviations and the top bar writes numbers the English way. Docs use
HA 2026.9's menu names (Settings -> Apps, App store, Settings -> Tools).
Unused legacy files (home-like.yaml, buttons.yaml, a.out) are removed.
Firmware 0.2.34 names its entities in English. Home Assistant registers
a renamed ESPHome entity under a new entity ID, so the inbox
text.<screen>_tegelinstellingen becomes text.<screen>_tile_settings and
the layout stored under the old ID would be lost. The manager now
recognises the screen by its device, during a run or after a restart,
and moves its layout and update history along; the Update button and
the nightly round follow the screen through the rename. Screens that
still run 0.2.33 or older keep working: both languages are matched.
Main is the only release branch from now on.
Tested on a Home Assistant Yellow (HA 2026.9.1) with both bench boards:
see docs/TEST_RESULTS_0240.md.

App 0.2.39 / firmware 0.2.33, items 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of the 30-screen scaling check.
- Only the tiles (and top bar) of changed entities are rebuilt; the screen list is
cached until the registry or a screen diagnostic changes; the SSE stream follows.
- Sensor history comes from one recorder/statistics_during_period call per window in
a background task, with the REST history as fallback per sensor without statistics.
- Firmware 0.2.33 answers a keepalive ping with its layout revision; a mismatch or a
restart asks for the layout again, everything is repeated hourly as a safety net.
- The screen_message API action takes one whole message; the text inbox chunks stay
as fallback for older firmware. A repeated unchanged layout keeps the inbox state.
- Quiet diagnostics: Opgestart (uptime as timestamp) replaces Uptime, heap every
5 min, setting numbers publish only on change.

The name stays on the left; up to six items go on the right: the time, an
analog clock, the date, or a Home Assistant entity with its icon, showing its
state or how long ago it changed, always or only while active. The add-on
formats entity text in Dutch and sends it as op: header right after the layout
to firmware 0.2.32+; older firmware keeps the clock of show_clock, which now
follows the clock item.
The firmware draws every value in one font on the name's baseline, centres
icons and the dial on the digit height and measures gaps between glyph ink, so
the bar looks even; the editor's mockup uses Roboto and the same integer rules.
tools/render_topbar.py renders the real LVGL code on a computer (ESPHome host +
SDL2). The editor's section buttons are gone.
Firmware 0.2.32 for both boards.
