Max Gramser ff9d3af9f8 Show a spinner while a screen starts and while a camera loads, bring a camera's first picture sooner, and round the alert's camera picture (0.2.87)
Starting screen: until the first layout, render() keeps the status text
("Connecting to Home Assistant", "Waiting for ESP Screens") and a spinner
as one block in the middle of the page; the first layout deletes both.
The room label stays empty meanwhile, and ROOM_NAME defaults to "".

Camera: the full screen shows a spinner instead of "Loading image". The
screen asks when the camera opens and loads a link as soon as it comes
(camera_load, never under a finger) instead of waiting for the 250 ms
tick twice, and online_image reads 16 KB per loop instead of 4 KB. On the
bench Guition with the EZVIZ camera: cold 5.8 -> 4.55 s, warm 3.4 -> 2.06 s.

Alert picture: the image takes the frame's radius (18, the alert card's);
LVGL's software renderer clips it row by row, without a layer.

One spinner_create() makes the busy sheet's, the starting screen's and the
camera's spinner; theme role CAMERA_TRACK colours the camera's ring. The
README gets a row of camera pictures; docs/CAMERA.md, RELEASING.md and
TEST_RESULTS_0287.md describe the measurements.

Checked with tools/check.sh (473 Python tests, 19/19 C++, editor) and
--firmware: CYD 1,678,816 B (91.5 %, +1,312 B), Guition 2,055,280 B
(25.3 %). Host renders of both boards in both looks; four OTA builds on
the bench Guition Wallbox, which runs this firmware.

ESP Screen Manager

Thank you! I work on this project with a lot of love, and every bit of support helps. I truly love the Home Assistant community.

Find your Home Assistant entities, arrange up to 48 tiles, and push changes to a CYD or Guition screen without reflashing. Includes installation help, a unique per-device YAML, and support for multiple screens.

A Guition 4-inch screen with tiles from Home Assistant ESP Screen Manager in Home Assistant: the screens, the top bar and the tiles of the selected screen

Open the web interface after installation. See Documentation for the first flash. The app uses Home Assistant Ingress and needs no login or token of its own. More screenshots are in the project README.
