Home Assistant shows an ESPHome device action with bare field names and
types only: no description, no dropdowns. The new Alerts button opens a
reference page instead: per screen the exact action names
(esphome.<node>_show_alert and _dismiss_alert) with copy buttons and
whether the firmware is new enough, a paste-ready YAML example per
screen, every field with explanation, example and the byte limits per
board, all icons with glyph and name (searchable, tap copies), the
colour swatches, the behaviour (timeout, button, flash, standby,
replace), and the esphome.screen_alert event with an automation that
waits for the button.
core.alert_reference() carries the data and tests/test_alerts_reference.py
keeps it equal to what both board profiles, tile_palette.h,
alert_overlay.h and tile_icons.py compile. Screens carry alert_action
and dismiss_action in the inventory. App only; firmware stays 0.2.31.

Every screen gets the user action esphome.<device>_show_alert with title,
subtitle, icon, color, button_text, timeout and flash. The card sits on
LVGL's top layer above every page, card and the dim overlay, wakes the
screen and keeps the backlight at its normal brightness until the button
(or the timeout; 0 waits for the button, the button always closes at
once). flash: true blinks the backlight four times on arrival. Icons are
the tile picker names (also mdi:name or the hex codepoint of a compiled
glyph, else alert-outline), colours the tile pastels. A new alert replaces
the current one; every ending fires esphome.screen_alert with action,
title and screen. dismiss_alert removes the card remotely.
The field is button_text rather than button: ESPHome reserves the names
of loaded components as ids and the CYD profile loads button:. The C++
namespace is screen_alert because the widget id alert_overlay becomes a
global lv_obj_t*.
tools/generate_icons.py now also writes tile_icon_names.h (name to
codepoint) from the one icon list. Firmware 0.2.31 for both boards.

On 0.2.29 the edge swipe flipped pages, but about half of the quick flicks
on Studio 1 ended with "randveeg niet gevuurd: 5 px naar binnen": every
touch lasted about 160 ms and produced a single sample. A press in the
empty band landed on tile_scroll or the page, and the theme gives every
object a pressed style, so LVGL repainted nearly the whole screen on press
and on release, blocking the loop and the 20 ms touch polling for as long
as the flick took. The page and the tile container are no longer
clickable: no state change, no repaint, no events, and the edge swipe on
the touchscreen triggers does not need them. While an edge swipe is armed
every sample is logged, and the press line carries the contact id, so the
sampling can be read from the log. Firmware 0.2.30 for both boards.

The 0.2.32 edge swipe listened on LVGL's input device, but the LVGL 9.5.0
bundled by ESPHome sends the indev PRESSED and RELEASED without PRESSING,
so the swipe never received a position update: on Studio 1 the log showed
the GT911 press and then nothing. The Guition follows the swipe through
on_touch, on_update and on_release again, the route that worked live in
0.2.24 once the card-close fix was in, with ESPHome's own rotation mapping,
the 45-degree rule, end() on release so a stale armed state cannot fire on
the next touch, and the "genegeerd"/"niet gevuurd" log lines. Firmware
0.2.29 for both boards; the app only moves its target version.

A firm press on Studio 1 that drifted 73 px was still refused by the touch
guard's movement limit. On a capacitive panel that limit has no job left:
the edge swipe consumes its own tap, sliders capture their own drag, and
LVGL already drops the click when the finger leaves the tile. The guard's
limit can now be 0 (no limit); the Guition profile sets it so, the CYD
keeps 56 px because its resistive panel jumps. Firmware 0.2.28 for both
boards; the app only moves its target version.

Read live on a Guition: every edge swipe was recognised but refused by the
"card open" check, because the light, climate and vacuum cards cleared
their overlay on close (X, tap beside the card, wake from standby) without
forgetting active_entity. One opened card blocked swiping until the next
layout change; the old whole-screen gesture and the CYD had the same gate.
Both boards now close cards through one script, close_cards, which hides
every overlay and clears that state; wake_display uses it too.
The Guition edge swipe now follows LVGL's own pointer events
(lv_indev_add_event_cb: PRESSED begins, PRESSING flips the page and calls
lv_indev_wait_release from inside LVGL) instead of ESPHome's touchscreen
on_update, so the point arrives already rotated. The direction rule is 45
degrees instead of twice as horizontal, and the log now says why a swipe
was refused or how far an unfinished one got. Firmware 0.2.27 for both
boards; the app only moves its target version.

Tiles get an absolute grid slot instead of a packed order: a tile lands exactly
where it is dropped, dropping on another tile swaps the two, everything else
stays put, and empty cells and empty pages persist. The mockup previews the
result while dragging, a new page waits below the last one, "Pagina toevoegen"
keeps an empty page, empty cells accept the next tile from the picker, and the
mouse no longer selects text while dragging.
Storage and protocol stay version 1: `tiles[].slot` (0-47) and `pages` (1-8)
are additive, the layout message carries `slots` and `pages`. Firmware 0.2.26
places tiles on those slots (`place()` next to `pack()`); older firmware packs
in order as before and the editor says so.

The status line under each screen name used the muted text colour for the
online dot, so online and offline screens looked alike. The dot is now its
own span and turns green when the screen is online; offline keeps the grey
open circle. Firmware 0.2.25 for both boards carries only the new version.

Page swipes were an LVGL gesture anywhere on the screen: 50 px, fast only,
and almost always starting on a tile that lit up as pressed. On the Guition
a touch that starts within 32 px of the left or right edge and travels
40 px inward, clearly sideways, now flips one page (from the right edge
leftwards is next, from the left edge rightwards previous), at any speed
and in every rotation; a swipe that starts in the middle does nothing, so
taps and drags on tiles can no longer change the page by accident. The
whole-screen gesture is removed from the Guition profile; the CYD keeps
it. Firmware 0.2.24 for both boards, the app only reworded the setting.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The touch guard dropped a tap as soon as the finger drifted more than
18 px (under 3 mm) from its very first contact point, on both boards and
regardless of the page-swipe setting; LVGL itself never cancelled these
clicks (no scrollable ancestors, gestures do not suppress clicks). A finger
that flattens or rolls while pressing was enough, and the tap vanished
without a trace in the log.
The limit is now about one centimetre per board (TOUCH_MOVE_LIMIT_PX:
Guition 67 px, CYD 56 px), measured from a reference that settles over the
first four samples; only the contact that started the touch is followed,
so a second finger no longer counts as movement; the minimum contact time
is per board too (TOUCH_MIN_PRESS_MS: 60 ms resistive, 20 ms capacitive).
Every refused tap is logged on INFO with its reason (moved, too short,
already used, bounce). Firmware 0.2.23 for CYD and Guition.

"Nieuw scherm" used to span two dialogs plus a copy/download of the
installation YAML. It is now one dialog: board, name (node name derived,
editable), wifi only when secrets.yaml lacks it, the detected USB port,
and Installeren. The add-on writes the profile with unique API/OTA keys,
merges just the missing wifi lines into secrets.yaml (comments and other
secrets untouched, result re-parsed before writing), then builds and
flashes with the live ESPHome log and stage in the same dialog; a failed
build offers a retry without a second profile. The YAML download
endpoint is gone: the profile already lives in the ESPHome folder.
Pairing happens in Home Assistant itself, so the done view and a sidebar
card per not-yet-paired profile say so, with a button to Apparaten &
diensten, the API key to copy and the reminder to allow HA actions.
One profile per screen; the dialog says that too.
Tests: wifi merge cases, install pre-checks, pending list, profile
metadata; the date-anchored hourly forecast test now follows the clock.
Firmware 0.2.22 stays current.

Since 0.2.20 the manager repeats a layout every 120 s, while the firmware
treated anything older than 95 s (sized for the original 25 s keepalive) as
stale: on a quiet screen every card read "Niet beschikbaar" and the header
"HA niet verbonden" for 25-45 s of each two-minute round, on both boards.
"HA niet verbonden" now follows ESPHome's own api_is_connected(); the feed
watchdog uses the cadence the layout message declares ("keepalive", seconds,
120 s when absent) and tolerates one missed round plus loop slack before
showing "ESP Screens niet actief". The tick redraws once when either flips.
Firmware 0.2.22 for CYD and Guition.

App 0.2.25 / firmware 0.2.21. The 600 ms touch-guard lockout dropped a second
tap on the same -/+ key; stepper keys now use a 150 ms bounce guard, repeat
while held (3 per second), and still send one call after 700 ms of rest.

App 0.2.24 / firmware 0.2.20.
- Forecast and hourly data live in vectors that only weather tiles fill:
Tile 2016 -> 1216 bytes, CYD free heap 20-26 KB -> 34-37 KB in the self-test.
- The bottom mini slider shows the same white handle as the control sliders.
- CYD light/fan/cover card uses the Guition light palette (last dark-theme remnant).
- power_save_mode: none in the wizard YAML and board profiles; docs explain
adding it to existing YAMLs. Rendering review in docs/TEST_RESULTS_0224.md.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
App 0.2.23 / firmware 0.2.19.
- Wide cards of climate, switch, light, fan, vacuum, cover, media_player,
number, select, timer, scene, script and button show Home Assistant style
controls on the right (keys, -/+ pill with debounced send, slider with
handle, toggle, run key); per-tile choice `options.controls` in the editor
with mockup preview; the add-on sends only the set a card really shows.
- Weather card: now + next hours and coming days with rain, from daily and
hourly forecasts; scenes/scripts/buttons show when they last ran.
- Climate card: power key, tap-to-toggle option, fan and swing rows in a
redesigned mode picker (grey backdrop, white chips, accent selection).
- Busy state as a spinner on a translucent sheet; render guards so only
changed styles reach LVGL; dark theme removed from the runtime code.
- supported_features above 1e6 reaches the screen; middle dot in text fonts;
18 control glyphs in the icon fonts; diagnostics services
preview_climate_picker and preview_busy; demo layout --controls.

- screen_manager/app/tile_icons.py is the single icon list (12 groups, 20 media
and music icons); tools/generate_icons.py writes it into the three icon fonts
of both boards and builds the editor's subset font.
- Firmware 0.2.18 shows o.icon when its fonts carry the glyph, else the domain
icon. The app sends the chosen icon, or Home Assistant's own mdi icon on auto.
- Tile sheet gets an icon picker with search; the mockup shows the icon the
screen actually draws.

The checkbox inherited the global 100%-wide input style, pushing its label
out of the sidebar. App 0.2.17, firmware unchanged.

Screens now report their ESPHome name and IP address, so the add-on can
match each screen to its YAML profile and OTA address itself. The screen
list shows an update badge with a Bijwerken button, an update-all action
and a nightly checkbox; updates run one screen at a time, wait for the
new version to report back and stop the round on the first failure.
App 0.2.16, firmware 0.2.17.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Firmware 0.2.16: the analog clock uses index strokes with 12/3/6/9
numerals on large cards and shows a calendar block (weekday, big day,
short month) beside the dial on single tiles; wide cards keep the digital
time and date. New palette key 'none' hides only the card fill and
border: geometry, padding and the pressed flash stay identical. Skeleton
frames and the render self-test honour the transparency.
App 0.2.15: 'Geen' in the background palette with a dashed mockup tile,
min_firmware 0.2.16 for such layouts, demo layout with the bare calendar
clock (--wide for the double-width clock). README and AGENTS note that
every push is a release and bumps the add-on version.

App 0.2.14: clicking a card opens a settings sheet (bottom sheet on
mobile) with segmented choices that apply live to the mockup behind it,
so the page no longer scrolls to a list below. Each card gets a remove
button with an undo toast; the old per-tile list is gone.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Firmware 0.2.15: trend graphs use a Catmull-Rom curve with a soft fill
drawn by the card's draw event; sun.sun gets a wide sun-path card with
horizon, arc and the sun at its current position; page switches show
the new page's card frames immediately and fill them from a one-shot
timer; the navigation is one full-width bar without a divider; the CYD
adopts the Guition light palette in styles and overlays.
App 0.2.13: pointer-based drag & drop (mouse and touch) to reorder tiles
in the mockup and to drop entities from the list, sticky save bar, a new
header with explained actions and a three-step guide, clearer firmware
dialog. New sun, weather and clock tiles start wide in their best view.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Any tile can now be double width: pack() in runtime_model.h places wide
tiles in the left column and the manager preview follows the same rules.
New cards: built-in clock (digital or analog, screen.clock), five-day
weather forecast on a wide weather card fed by weather.get_forecasts,
history sparkline for sensors, sunrise/sunset (sun.sun), live kitchen
timer (timer.*, tap starts or pauses) and presence (person.*). The
manager pre-computes time-zone and forecast extras in a new 'x' object
and refuses layouts with new domains until the screen runs 0.2.14.
The self-test follows the packing, checks custom card parts and wide
widths, and diagnostics/send_layout.py pushes a demo layout of every
card type for render checks without Home Assistant. App 0.2.12,
firmware 0.2.14.

Large-value (watch) tiles show a small domain icon next to the title, centre
title and value vertically, use a dedicated larger digit font, truncate long
values with dots and keep the unit in its own label. The geometry self-test
checks the unit label too.
The Guition backlight now dims through the LEDC hardware fader (1.5 s to
standby, 80 ms wake) so full LVGL redraws no longer make the transition
stutter; ESPHome's light state is synced after each fade. Firmware 0.2.13;
app 0.2.11 stays compatible. Document the shared build directory pitfall.
