Add Seeed SenseCAP Indicator D1L GX support

sillevlSuggested this wish · —

I have implemented experimental support for the Seeed SenseCAP Indicator D1L GX in a public fork and am preparing a pull request targeting dev.

The profile uses native ESPHome display and touch components and the project's shared UI and ESP32-S3 RGB hardware configuration.

Scope:

Wi-Fi, 480×480 display, capacitive touch and dimmable backlight.
Default 2×3 grid at approximately 172 dpi.
Shared S3 PSRAM ceilings of 128 tiles, 24 pages and 12 top-bar items. Maximum-capacity layouts have not been separately validated.
No LoRa, RP2040 peripheral integration or camera pictures.

I built and flashed the packaged profile on my board. Physical checks passed for display output, touch, sliders, page navigation including edge swipes, rotation, backlight, standby/wake, cold boot, settings persistence and normal-use stability. Encrypted API connectivity and layout delivery were also confirmed.

Targeted software checks passed for the board contract, catalog integration, PSRAM limits, generated configuration, the 172-dpi preview and relevant editor tests.

This request is specific to the GX/ST7701S variant. It does not establish compatibility with DX panels or other Indicator variants.

Implementation: https://github.com/sillevl/homeassistant_espscreen/tree/feat/sensecap-indicator-d1l

Board documentation: https://github.com/sillevl/homeassistant_espscreen/blob/feat/sensecap-indicator-d1l/docs/SENSECAP_D1L.md

I own the hardware and can help test experimental support.

Hardware testing

We often do not have this board ourselves. Community testing helps establish what actually works. A successful report is evidence for the maintainer to review, not an automatic compatibility claim.

Board details & configuration

Model: Seeed SenseCAP Indicator D1L, SKU 114993070, GX/ST7701S display variant.
Chip, RAM and flash: ESP32-S3 with 8 MB octal PSRAM and 8 MB flash. The device also contains a separate RP2040, which this implementation leaves unchanged.
Display and touch: 3.95-inch 480×480 RGB display, GX/ST7701S variant, using ESPHome's native mipi_rgb SEEED-INDICATOR-D1 preset. FT6336U capacitive touch via ft5x06 at I2C address 0x48.
Already tried: I implemented an experimental D1L GX board profile in a public fork using native ESPHome display and touch components and Tessera's shared UI. The packaged profile has been built, flashed and tested on my board. Wi-Fi, encrypted API connectivity, layout delivery, display, touch, sliders, edge-swipe page navigation, rotation, backlight dimming, standby/wake, cold boot and settings persistence work in my testing. Normal-use stability checks also passed. Targeted board, catalog, PSRAM-limit, generator and editor checks passed. Maximum-capacity layouts have not been separately validated. A pull request targeting dev is being prepared. Support is limited to the GX/ST7701S variant; LoRa and RP2040 peripherals are not enabled.
