Buying ​

Search for ESP32-S3-4848S040 and check 480 × 480, ST7701S and a capacitive GT911 touch. It comes as an EU wall box; the base holds one or three relays, which Tessera doesn't configure. Mains wiring is for someone qualified.

Setting up ​

Tiles on a page under New screen: 3 rows keeps the tiles large and easy to read; 4 rows fits eight smaller tiles, for a screen with many switches.

Good to know ​

  • Below about 90 % brightness the picture looked off on firmware before 0.3.5; update if you still see it.
  • The relays can be added with Override YAML as GPIO switches; the board page in the repository, GUITION.md, has the pins.
