A fast swipe off the right side of a Guition ended at 93-98 %: the GT911 reports the finger for the last time 33-48 px inside the edge while a wide tile's slider ends 29 px from it, and LVGL keeps the last point it saw. cyd::edge_snap() takes a release inside the band (SLIDER_EDGE_SNAP_PX: Guition 67, CYD 56) as the end that lies in that band, for the tile sliders and the light card's sliders; the log names each snap. App 0.2.80, firmware 0.2.67.

Dark mode is a new switch under Brightness on the screen's settings page, in
the Screen settings of ESP Screens and as switch.<screen>_dark_mode in Home
Assistant, so an automation can turn it on at bedtime. The screen changes
look at once, open cards and an alert included, and keeps it after a
restart. The design stays the same: a black page, graphite cards with a
hairline, soft white text, Home Assistant's state colours where they tell
something, and pastel card colours as deeper versions of themselves.
Every colour the firmware chooses now lives in components/smart_display/
theme.h: roles with a light and a dark value, the named card colours and
Home Assistant's state colours. The board profiles give widgets colourless
shared styles that theme.h fills, so a change of look refills those styles
and draws again what code painted by state. The light look is unchanged
apart from merges below one panel step. Dark mode costs 440 bytes of static
RAM on the CYD, and the LVGL tree of the host build is 416 bytes smaller; tests
keep colours out of every other file.
Comparing a screen that switched looks with one that booted in it also
found two older bugs, now fixed: a settings switch that was on showed its
knob at the left whenever its page was drawn, and the sun card's sunlit
area turned orange after a palette change. Firmware 0.2.54.

A light's colour slider on Studio 1 sometimes sent red on release. Measured
live: an automation with a state trigger on a six-lamp group (no `to:`) set
"Standby after" to its current value after every colour change. The screen
reported the setting, ESP Screen Manager saved the layout and resent layout,
header and every tile state, and the screen drew its whole page again,
reading no touch input meanwhile. The GT911's stray (0, 0) contact then
became the finger's last position, and LVGL 9.5 set the slider from it on
release. Both red commits left 75-85 ms after such a resync.
The app no longer saves or resends a setting event whose value the layout
already has. The four setting numbers return before the preference write
and the event when nothing changed. A layout message that changes nothing
on the screen no longer runs layout_changed() and refresh_all(); the tile
states after it redraw their own tiles. The Guition wraps the LVGL touch
read callback with cyd::GhostTouch, which repeats the previous read for a
pressed (0, 0), and the edge swipe skips that sample too. Both slider
handlers log a jump to an end on release.
Checked with 214 Python and 14 C++ tests, generate_packages --check, and
ESP32 builds of both Easy profiles. Firmware 0.2.47.

The CYD restarted under load: a slider fill rounded less than its track made
LVGL draw the fill into a buffer of its own size on every redraw (15-20 KB), and
when that allocation failed the refresh retried until the task watchdog fired.
Track and fill now share one radius, and tests/test_layer_free.py keeps every
layer-making style out of the profiles, the packages and the firmware headers.
A tile keeps only the fields every card uses; climate modes, select options,
weather, sun and timer times, the media title and the vacuum rows moved to an
Extra block that exists only while a state needs one, and the state copy became
a fingerprint. runtime_tiles::model went from 24,296 to 8,216 bytes.
The manual profile that bound tiles to fixed entities in the YAML is gone:
331 TILE* substitutions, DYNAMIC_TILES/TILE_COUNT/DIRECT_ACTIONS, the 80 Home
Assistant subscriptions, its tap handlers and scripts, its own vacuum card, its
guides and helper scripts, and the five stale header copies in the repository
root that two C++ tests were compiling instead of the components. esphome config
of both Easy profiles is unchanged by that cleanup.
tile_scroll and the wake overlay no longer light up on a tap, and the debug
sensor min_free reports the lowest free heap since boot. On the bench CYD static
RAM went from 32.0% to 22.8% and free heap from 64-77 KB to about 101 KB, with
78 KB as the lowest point over thirteen hours without a restart.

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.

Page switches show the new page as empty cards at once and draw two cards per
LVGL refresh, so touch is polled between the steps; on the Guition the longest
loop gap during a swipe dropped from 276 to 74 ms (docs/SWIPE_PROFILE.md).
Custom parts and control panels are reused instead of rebuilt, state updates
and ticks redraw only their own card, clocks redraw once a minute, and a swipe
past the last page draws nothing.
Slider handles sit inside the fill (grey when the card is off), the busy sheet
covers the whole card, and the light colour card is redesigned with rounded
tracks and colour knobs. Firmware 0.2.36; SWIPE_PROFILE builds carry a
per-swipe profiler for measurements.

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 0.2.23 / 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.
