Thanks for the inspiration!

Not really an issue, just wanted to say thanks for posting this repo! :)
Based on your example, I made a (consumption) power meter that shows the live consumption of our house (including usage/cost today/this month):

Awesome! Glad it was useful to you! I don't even have mine reporting real data yet so may use some of your code for those parts 😁

@svenove you can see the new beta documentation and ways to update the text values here :) They used my example as basis for that gauge but did things the more proper way ;) https://deploy-preview-3678--esphome.netlify.app/cookbook/lvgl#semicircle-gauge

[svenove]

Thanks, I’ll have a look at it! 🙂
I was particularly interested in this comment:

Since LVGL only handles integer values on the meter scale, but we want a float precision scale we use the same approach as in the examples above to multiply the needle values by 10.

Does that mean that the indicator will stay on the same spot for values 1.0-1.9 kW? I’ll have to look into that and perhaps modify it with a 10-multiplier. 🙂

Seems to be quite a few breaking changes in the lvgl by clydebarrow now. Like this one:
clydebarrow/esphome@b2225fd

Is it still his lvgl that is recommended to use?

Yup its still in active development ;) use this, and make sure you are on the latest ESPhome or it wont compile, they just added the ability to reference a specific commit on the most recent version.

I just uploaded my current beta version here, it also has the *10 to increase precision, its definitely necessary for this type of 0-10 gauge.

Oh and if you want to see the most recent ESPhome LVGL and display driver changes etc there is discussion about it on the Discord here: https://discord.com/channels/429907082951524364/1119046373543780363

Ah, that’s great! I looked at the docs, but couldn’t find any way of “pinning” to a specific commit, just tags/PRs. Guess I wasn’t reading the latest version of the docs then…

Your discord link seems to be to the UniFi-wireless channel…?

[clowrey]

Hmm.. for me it seems to go to the right discord, maybe you have to first join ESPhome discord? https://discord.com/invite/KhAMKrd

[clowrey]

And yes! it is just out of beta as of yesterday lol.. I asked the same thing on discord and they showed me that it was possible in beta a week ago :)

[svenove]

Joining first seems to be it. 👍

[clowrey]

But I dont think the official documentation is updated yet to show that, there was a pull request for it I saw though..
esphome/esphome#6446
esphome/esphome-docs#3736

Here you can see it will reference commit hash as valid - once this is pushed to main
