A test and code-analysis round of 0.2.72 to 0.2.76 (suites at every tag, sanitizers, ESP32 and GitHub builds, host
harnesses on both boards, the editor in a browser, best practice checked against ESPHome, LVGL, Home Assistant and
Vue) found these, fixed here with Max's choices for the product questions:
- Firmware 0.2.65: the second hand of a single analog clock moves again; on a page that is one full on/off tile the
waking push also switches it; on the Guition a flick is never a tap and a finger that slides off a tile doesn't tap
it; Previous/Next react to a firm press; the same Go to page tile may sit on several pages; a layout the screen has
no memory for is refused instead of crashing; 64-bit redraw mask for 48 tiles; Montserrat 14 no longer built.
- App: Save refuses a layout too long for one message or too big for eight pages; an offline screen keeps its
firmware version from the device registry; HA refusals reach the editor; 128 KB requests; changelog out of the
live stream; cached hashed assets; tini as init and a clean stop; changelog parsing without asterisks or crashes.
- Editor: clicking the open screen keeps unsaved edits, edits during a save stay unsaved, a Page row and phone
dragging to other pages, repeated page tiles, limits from the server, HA's error messages, a type-checked build.
- tools/check.sh + GitHub Actions + a CYD flash budget; docs match 48 tiles and the new editor.

The tiles draw what Home Assistant reports (a new /api/states answers for the tiles on the page); the ···
menu gets Identify (the screen's own show_alert with flash), Copy layout from another screen, Export and
Import as JSON; the Alerts page opens with Try it (/api/alerts/test, one screen or all); the library filters
by room and hides what is placed, with lit icons for what is on; ⌘K searches screens, entities and actions;
the Update badge lists what's new from the changelog (copied into the image) and a running update shows a
progress bar with the ESPHome stage and the last log line.

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:

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.

/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.

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.
