How these numbers are counted

Everything here is shared by choice from the Tessera app, one per installation of the app, without an account. A like can come from anyone, also from someone who does not run the plugin. A rating comes from someone who has run it on a screen for a few days, and shows from 3 ratings. Homes are the installations that agreed to be counted and said in the last 30 days that they run it.

These are not verified installations or a quality score. Reinstalls and lost keys can affect them, and one home network adds at most two of each to a plugin.

What the app shares

A face for the screensaver's photos: each photo of the folder you chose over the whole glass, and the time small in a corner with the date under it, on a soft shade so it reads on a bright photo too.

It is an example to learn from: a screensaver whose one picture is the step's own photo, and that lets the screen move it a little every minute, so the time never stands on the same pixels for hours.

Set up

  1. Add the plugin to a screen in Tessera. The screen builds once.
  2. Open the screen's Settings and the Screensaver card. Turn on Show in standby (the screen needs Auto standby on too).
  3. Click the Photos step, choose a folder of Home Assistant's media and how long each photo stands, and choose Photo clock under Face.
  4. Choose the Corner the time stands in.

Good to know

  • It shows on screens that show pictures, as the photos step does. The CYD, the Waveshare 3.5-inch and the Hosyond 4-inch show the clock instead.
  • The photo fills the glass and is cut to it, whatever the step's own fill says.
  • A screen without the plugin shows Tessera's own photos.
