The full story
Frustrated with how the stock display showed their AmbientWeather station data, the maker built their own on a Waveshare ESP32-S3 7" screen, flashed with Home Assistant's ESPHome Designer. Backgrounds reflect the sky, temperature and dew point rings are colour-coded with a history bar graph, and lightning only appears after a strike within seven days.
The code, about 4,400 lines so far, was written with Claude's help.
