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.

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.

"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 0.2.23 / 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.

/api/events streams the light inventory whenever the sync loop or a save
changes it (3 s check during firmware updates). The page stops polling
while the stream is open and falls back to the 10 s poll otherwise. The
websocket close is logged with duration, close code and exception.

The sync loop now wakes only for state changes of entities on a layout or
belonging to a screen. Registries refresh on HA registry events with a
10 minute fallback instead of every 30 s. The page polls a light inventory
(screens + update status) every 10 s and the full catalogues every 5 min or
when the tab becomes visible. The full keepalive interval is 120 s.

/api/inventory re-read every ESPHome profile with pure-Python PyYAML up to
four times per request, which blocked the event loop for seconds on a Pi.
Profiles are now cached per file on (inode, mtime_ns, size), parsed with
libyaml when available, and read once per request. The sync loop computes
the inventory once per iteration. The page pauses polling while hidden.

- 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.

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.

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.
