Quick start

At home in Home Assistant already? This is the whole setup.

1. Add the app. Tessera is not in the standard app store. One click adds its repository:

   Add to Home Assistant

   Or by hand, under Settings → Apps → app store → ⋮ → Repositories:

   https://github.com/MaxGramser/homeassistant_espscreen

2. Install Tessera Screen Manager, start it, and open Tessera in the sidebar.

3. Plug the screen in with a USB data cable: into the Home Assistant machine, or into the computer you are using now.

4. Click New screen. Pick your screen, give it a name, and in the Install step choose USB on Home Assistant and click Install. Plugged into this computer? Choose From this computer and click Connect & install. That needs Chrome or Edge and Home Assistant opened over https, for example your Home Assistant Cloud address.

5. Drag your tiles onto the screen once it shows up in Tessera's sidebar, and click Save & send. Tessera adds the screen to Home Assistant by itself as soon as it is on your Wi-Fi.

Within seconds the screen shows your lights, heating and the rest.
