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.

App 0.2.47 / firmware 0.2.40:
- guition-4848s040.yaml gets the CYD's climate card: the setpoint between large -/+ keys
(debounced, hold to repeat) and one row of mode keys in HA's order and colours; the arc,
scrim, mode pill and climate_number font are gone.
- Fan and swing modes sit right on the card as segmented rows behind their icons, drawn by the
new climate_card.h (async rebuild, taps through the touch guard and a profile hook). The card
is laid out per case from one table: no, one or two settings rows, with or without mode keys.
- Both boards hide a mode key row that would hold a single mode and centre the setpoint instead.
- Glyph arrow-oscillating (Home Assistant's swing icon) joins the icon set.
Verified on the Guition over OTA with the owner's air conditioner and with host renders of both
boards; see docs/TEST_RESULTS_0247.md.

App 0.2.46 / firmware 0.2.39:
- The vacuum's state message carries extras from its own device: the cleaning mode and water
selects (found by translation key, then entity id ending, so localized ids work), the suction
speeds to offer, the battery sensor (HA 2026.8 dropped battery_level), charging and the current
room. Speeds and water levels a mode covers move into the mode row; Custom only while in use.
The manager watches these entities and resends only the vacuum's message when one changes.
- Vacuum card redesign on both boards: robot with state, battery, charging bolt and room; Start
(Pause, Resume) and Dock; then segmented rows for mode, suction and water, showing only the rows
the chosen mode uses. Taps show at once and wait for Home Assistant; Locate is a round button in
the Guition hero.
- CYD climate card without the arc: big setpoint between large -/+ keys (debounced, hold to
repeat) and one row of mode keys in HA's order and colours, with a more key for fan and swing.
- Both profiles clear climate_edit_pending when the climate card is closed, instead of running
ui_refresh every second while the flag stayed set.
Tested with the owner's Roborock S8 on HA 2026.9.1 (live data, OTA-flashed bench boards) and with
host renders of both boards; see docs/TEST_RESULTS_0246.md.

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.

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.
