Hi! I am Václav. I am passionate about Home Automation, Photography, Drone flying, but also my work where I help to make products that help with the automation as well.
I used to make Photography video tutorials for the Digital Camera magazine, but this is some time ago. Now I decided to post videos here, mainly about Home Assistant.

What about Grace ? This is the title of the chapter aiming to greatly improve the Home Assistant user interface. It is still an experimental feature, but the September release brings great new features, and I think it is ready for prime time. So, I have committed to migrate my production Home Assistance instance to it.

All the videos I made on displays relied on a 3rd party HMI editor. They were nice to create, but how about long-term supportability? Will the programs still be available?

That was a great walk through. I found your explanation of Czech to be as interesting as the technology! Thanks!
This channel is a goldmine for Home Assistant set-up. Thank you, Václave
To copy your grid card with rooms, you could copy it over (just like you did initially) and then edit the yaml of the new section (yes you can do this) and carefully remove the yaml of the surrounding grid card. This will leave just the individual template cards.
Sure. I wanted to stay out of YAML if possible. Many people call this "programming" :)

Very inspirational, Vašku. Thanks for sharing.
Can I ask how do you monitor pool temperature? I was loooking into it and came out with basicaly nothing. THX
That's a rather old Wemos D1 with a Dallas sensor, configured in ESPHome. I made that one like 5 years ago, still works, quite well. The sensor is on a long wire, I zip-tight it in the skimmer. And the microcontroller is in the pump compartment. I originally also wanted to measure Ph, but never did that, I think it is quite tricky, the sensor need to be calibrated regularly, so I measure that manually :(.
Great tutorial, except I don't have the layout tab to change sizes. Only config and visibility. 2024.9.0b3
The video was made on 2024.9.0b3. I think this tab was available even before. Do you open it with an Administrator account?

Great walkthrough. I’m considering making a car dashboard and looking for something I can diy. Do you think this screen is visible in sunlight and would it update the display fast enough from local sensors?
I think it is bright enough, and the resolution is OK as well. Not sure about the speed though, I do not really know how to test that.
just dont work - no files for configuration after installation on HASS, No Editor
You have to create the files. An editor is not part of HASS.
i have bought recently the "CrowPanel 7.0" -HMI ESP32 Display 800x480 RGB TFT LCD Touch Screen Compatible with Arduino/LVGL/ PlatformIO/Micropython" When I want to install the yaml fiile it says esps3box board is not correct . is there a difference between the 5 inch and the 7 inch ?
I actually changed that to esp32-s3-devkitc-1, but that should not be a big deal. But they way it uses a different display driver - EK9716BD3 & EK73002ACGB instead of ILI6122 & ILI5960. Not sure if that one is supported by ESPHome. I'd dig there.
Peter... were you able to get the 7" version working?? I have just ordered one after having great success with a 5" version.
Vašku, super video. Integroval jsem ESP32-S3-BOX3 do HA, který mám spuštěn na lokálním serveru, nastavil jsem hlasového asistenta s českým jazykem, pod českým rozhraním HA.

Thank Vaclav Chaloupka for putting so much effort into creating and sharing this video with everyone. This video provides a wealth of information for ESPHome LVGL project users and offers detailed guidance for some Waveshare users in their practical applications. If you have any ideas about incorporating other new Waveshare products in your future videos, I believe Waveshare should provide you with the greatest support. I will certainly provide you with the strongest backing for your future video productions!
Feel free to contact me my email. I am sure we can figure something out.
Can this also work for the Waveshare ESP32 - S3 -Touch LCD 7 ?
Found a PR about this display github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/1699 - looks like it should work.
@@bruxy70 super thx Vaclav
Good show Vaclav. I could imagine one of these as a low power dashboard on each floor and in the garage. Dicking around with tablets and the workarounds does not make sense if you have basic programming skills and a 3D printer. An E-Ink version would be cool.
Hi, I need help, how did you configure your Energy dashboard from the Goodwe entities? I have a Goodwe GW5048-ES inverter and it has 61 entities, non of them appear in the Add Grid consumption and Add Grid Export, the solar power and battery entities also do not appear. Please help, it will be truly appreciated
Not sure what is wrong, I see the entities in the list. I added Meter Total Energy (import) and Meter Total Energy (export) as consumption and return to grid. Total Battery Charge and Total Battery discharge for the battery and Total PV generation for the PV.
@bruxy70 I see, I don't have those entities, I guess our Inverters provide different entities my entities are sensor.ongrid_export_power for Export and sensor.on_grid_power for import and for battery it is only sensor.battery_power and neither of those are in the look up list when adding energy dashboards. Maybe I need to use SEMS API's
@@Andrew28Lamont you can setup an integration helper to convert the power to energy.
@@bruxy70 I will look into it and give feedback. Thanks
Genius.. I'm getting 3.. will start just like you with battery/pv/grid usage then try to have conditional screens show depending on time of the day show if all openings are closed and locks locked etc. Would love more in depth examples on how to do that (to save me loads of time hah)
You can also create pages on the display, and swipe between them - either by swiping or with a timer.
@@bruxy70 Do you know if there is a limit on the number of pages? I am wondering if there can be conditional pages that change content depending on stuff like time of day, is alarm armed or not, movement detected on camera X shows camera X feed, etc
@@Airbag888 I don't. I suppose it depends on the memory. Other thing you can do is to hide/show a widget based in the time of the day.
this is a really great video that will be really useful for folks that want to try this. I wonder if squareline will eventually support an export of EspHome Yaml also. One thing I've been trying to do with my display running LVGL is get something working that can be used inside our car project. For that, we need a display that is easily readable in bright sunlight. I've seen these new dash displays in newer cars that are super easy to read in sunlight, but I can't seem to find any hobby displays that use the same technology. If you come across one of these displays, it would be super awesome to see a similar video on making a display that could be used outdoors or in a car!
Awesome but will stick to Openhasp for now.
This all really cool but I just want to display chosen overview dash cards
Then get a tablet, as mentioned at the end.
Very cool i got a 7" I'm not using.
At last - somebody that explains things clearly and understandable... Thanks Vaclav.
Here in Poland we have 1h balancing so it doesn’t matter if you take power for half hour and send power for half hour - it’s important to have the sum equal 0kWh. The same for 3 phases. You pay for the sum of them. So you can load 1 phase 2,4kW and send 2,4kW on L2 and you will still have 0kWh at the end of the hour. This simplified the setup a lot. In great scale this all averages over many users so it doesn’t matter for the grid.
You’re lucky. Here it is a struggle, and it is getting worse.
@@bruxy70 the only problem is that we have so much solar now that the prices they pay us while sending the power to the grid is really low. It’s hourly price and sometimes it reaches 0.
@volkhen0 Here they pay virtually nothing, and some make import more expensive if you have solars. So the only strategy is to maximize own consumption and minimize import. This is why energy management is so important.
@@bruxy70 I look with great envy at your systems. I dream about such setup but I’m just a simple Arduino guy and honestly this is too much for me, maybe one day I will get knowledge required to build it.
Čeština super. HA je bezva, ale člověk potřebuje nakoukat nějaká videa pro inspiraci a popravdě cizojazyčná videa s automatickými tilky není to pravé ořechové, ale pořád lepší než nic. Českého kontentu pro HA aby člověk pohledal. Přidávám odběr a doufám, že čeština si tu najde své místo. A kdyby byla možnost předabovat i starší videa do češtiny, tak by to bylo úplně super.
Já mám spíše problém sehnat rozumný mikrofon, který by slyšel alespoň v rámci jedné místnosti. Momentálně zkouším Jabra 410 za 500 z Marketplace a Add-on Assist microphone (oba). Zároveň zkouším cestu RTSP/RTP streamu přes integraci Stream Assist. Zatím se ale vždycky zaseknu na hluchém HW. Jinak Assist Jako takový se dá opravdu snadno doladit pomocí aliasů, případně dobře fungují automatizace spouštěné předdefinovanou větou. Tím se mi podařilo dobře eliminovat problémy s rozpoznáním entit. Ale k čemu to je, když HA nedokážu dát pořádné uši🤷♂️🙂
What is energy management? Energy management is the proactive and systematic monitoring, control, and optimization of an organization’s energy consumption to conserve use and decrease energy costs.
Anyone not able to create the sensor? Here's my code: template: - sensor: - name: trash_day state: >- {{ min((state_attr('calendar.trash_day','start_time') | as_timestamp - today_at('00:00') | as_timestamp) / 86400) | int,2 }} attributes: days: >- {{ ((state_attr('calendar.trash_day','start_time') | as_timestamp - today_at('00:00') | as_timestamp) / 86400) | int }} Every time I save and reload, no sensor is being displayed in states or entities. I'm not see any errors in the logs either.
I updated my HA and some other things, did a full restart, cleared cache and it started work.
Trochu bych Vás opravil ve výkonech 3f rozvodů, počítat výkon 3f rozvodu jako 3x240 x proud je poněkud zavádějící (pokud se nejedná o zapojení do trojúhelníku, ale nevím proč by se takto uměle snižoval nabíjecí příkon,) vzhledem k tomu že napětí v 3f rozvodech v Evropě je 400V na fázi vypadá příkon asi trochu jinak než uvádíte (asi takto: P=3 x Uf x I x cosφ , s tím, že cosφ je jak známo účinník tedy fázový posun mezi napětím a proudem závislý na typu zátěže, což asi lze pro zjednodušení zanedbat takže P=3 x 400 x i a z toho plyne pro 11kW proud 9,166A na fázi)
I’m using easee charger and with this i have full control on the api and there is a hacs for home assistant for it. So i use node red to control if i want to use sun or grid and which phase i want to use. We have 240 on each phase in Denmark. Let me know if you want to have more info on it.
can i enter max inverter ourput so it dont overloads when car is charging and house starts also with washing machine and dryer ? can i setup limit of 11kw for overall car and house in this home assistant ? and how do i do that
You got the wrong EVSE. The Go-e Gemini 11/22kW changes automatically between 1 and 3 phase and you can control all parameters easily from Home Assistant 😊
You mentioned you have gas. If you have a water storage tank, look at something like a power diverter from myenergi. It is called Eddi. I use excess solar power to heat my hot water and so use less gas. In Germany we don't get much for pushing back into the grid so my goal is to consume as much as possible myself. The products from myenergi help a lot with that. Nice video.
I also have a pulsar plus. I have a automation running on nodered to adjust the charging current based on the current consumption and the max power I have. I only have 6.9Kw available on my apartment and since the wallbox is on the garage a couple of floors down, I have a powerline to provide internet to the garage and then I have a Shelly EM on the main fuse box reading the consumption from the garage and the total consumption. It works well, never had the power trip due to over consumption
Why don't you use evcc?
I already have exported the UI file same your instruction, but there isn't any .ino file; .ino file was exported by squareline or have you written it?
I have a Fronius solar inverter, and the Fronius WattPilot EV charger. They communicate with each other and the WattPilot ECO mode ensures charge current (power) uses only excess solar power. Works like a charm, no Home Assistant automation or script is necessary.
The WattPolit automatically switches between 1-phase and 3-phase. It's minimum is 1.4kW.
Interesting exercise. My solution - inverter is symetric (Fronius), charget Go-E gemini flex charger 22kW. All I need to do is generate one MQTT message - how much solar is generating and how much do I take from/return to grid. The go-e will then calculate how much it can use and set the allowed current accordingly. On go-e you can even set the "threshold" - how much grid feed-in there needs to be before it even charges at all and how much grid feed should it keep - to make sure it does not charge the car from the grid. Works fully locally, no external API dependency, etc. Absolutely recommended.
I'm looking for exact this solution. Is there a tutorial for this somewhere in the web or can you explain it a little bit more? How fast is the polling/switching time of the goe charger? How long does it take adapt to a new charge current?
Interesting project - I did a similar project on an ABL-Wallbox which needed generic RS482-communication - which made the part of "talking" to the WB more complicated. I decided to uses MQTT for the WB-Communication and Node Red for the programming part. Our EV is a VW eUP that is capable for max. 2phase charging only - so so far a switch between 2 and 3 phase charging is not covered yet. On the WB I had the same situation, that the manuals offer to install the WB either for 1 or 3 phase charging (2-phase not mentioned. I implemented an standard 3x40A relais to interrupt phase 2 & 3 and a Shelly 3EM mainly for measurement. The relais of the Shelly is used to switch between 1 and 3 phase operation (via the 40A-Relais) - so no mode where I cant disconnect all phases. Thes was not documented anywhere but at least for load free switch between the modes thsi woks fine meanwhile for 3 years. I use this chance between 1 and more phases manual only by looking at the sky and the weather conditions. For my car I found, that it stopps charcing when charging is interrupted ~ more than 10 times and an day with individual clouds all trys with and automation for that switched much too often. For the balance between car and houses battery charging I calculate a reserve value of Watts depending on the house battery SOC. Further I definded a helper for a 2nd reserve power that can be modified between -3000 and + 3000 in 250W steps.This two reserve values and the house consumption were combined to determin how much PV power is available for car charging. Big advantage of that slider is e.g. if you know that the car is uses some hours during the day the power can be adjusted to use some house battery power that can betopped up after the car left. Here a link to a German description klaus-macht-bilder.blogspot.com/2021/09/steuerung-der-abl-emh1-wallbox-mit-home.html
Is wallbox a generic name for an EVSE? Or do you have a Wallbox brand EVSE like the Wallbox Pulsar Plus or something?
The integration is for the Wallbox brand. I have Pulsar Plus. There are other wallboxes you can manage, e.g. through OCPP. Some others by sending them 1-10V analog input. But the one I got has native HA support
