LilyGo-S3-Homeassistant-Weatherstation

I'm sharing here a nice weekend project. I recently got this LilyGo-T-display-S3 with a nice dev housing. To test it's capabilities I tried to use it as small info/weatherstation for displaying my HomeAssistant Entites, calendar and forecast. I think this could be a great start for some other projects.

Current three different screens are implemented:

• Current weather
• Calendar dates
• Weather forecast

Here you can see how the screen look like:

Weather Screen	Calendar Screen	Forecast Screen

Buttons can controll the screen:

• Upper Botton -> Switches to next View
• Lower Button -> Switch rotations (Currently only landscape is implemented)

Installation

I used secrets.h to store my API keys. A template file can be found at secretsTemplate.h. Needed Informations:

• WiFi credentials - SSD & Password
• Homeassistant base url
• Homeassistant API Token - How to get a Homeassistant long-live-access API Token
• Your longitude and latitude
• OpenWeather API Token - How to get a OpenWeaterAPI Token
• Homeassistant Entity Names you want to track
• Your Village name

Then follow the PlatformIO install instructions:

1. Install PlatformIO
2. Launch VisualStudioCode
3. Click the (✔) symbol in the lower left corner to compile
4. Connect the board to the computer USB
5. Click (→) to upload firmware
6. Click (plug symbol) to monitor serial output
