add support for CYD 2432S028 with ILI9342

Thanks for the report and the working configuration, that made this quick to add.

Release 0.3.26 adds the CYD ESP32-2432S028 ILI9342 as an experimental board. Update the app, then pick it under New screen. It is the regular CYD with only the display controller changed: the ILI9342 scans the glass lying down, so the firmware has it swap its axes and everything else (layout, touch, the calibration on the first start) works as on the ILI9341 CYD.

It is built but not yet tried on an ILI9342, so I'd love to hear how it runs:

1. Is the picture upright and not mirrored, and does it fill the whole glass?
2. After the calibration on the first start, do taps land where you touch?
3. If the colours look off, add DISPLAY_INVERT_COLORS: "true" under substitutions: in the Override YAML.

So far it looks ok, it worked on first attempt, good job. Font is not great for this screen. I can also tell you that it is working from a remote network connected via WireGuard vpn (I added the configuration in the esphome yaml file). I found a bug on the lights and switch entities: it seems it is unable to control them but it gets the status updates from home assistant when they are turn on and off

Great to hear it worked on the first attempt, and thanks for the photo! Nice to know it also runs over WireGuard.

Lights and switches: when the state updates but taps do nothing, it's almost always one setting in Home Assistant. Go to Settings > Devices & services > ESPHome, click Configure on this screen and turn on Allow the device to perform Home Assistant actions. Without it the screen can read states, but Home Assistant refuses its actions. Could you check that and let me know if the taps work afterwards?

Font: looking at your photo, the text in the tiles is quite small. Part of that comes from the portrait layout, which gives each tile less width, but there is room to make the letters bigger on this screen. I'll look into that. If it's something else that bothers you about the font, a close-up photo of a tile would help.

On screen I also noticed the BLUE and RED are swapped. Now actions are working, it was missing that option. Here is the close up of the last tile fir reference

I got it working with the correct color order by adding

display:

• id: !extend my_display color_order: rgb

to the xxxxx.local.yaml

ok, that worked the colors are correct now.

@MaxGramser here is the landscape orientation with double length tile but I can't see much of a difference

Sure, the screen resolution does not help but maybe a simpler/bigger font can be used to make test more clear to read

Thanks both! @ComputerZOO, your color_order: rgb is exactly right: ESPHome sends colours in BGR order unless told otherwise, which suits the regular CYD, and this ILI9342 panel wants RGB.

Release 0.4.6 (firmware 0.6.0) is out and builds that into the ILI9342 board, so every screen with this display gets the right colours without an override. After updating you can remove the display: block from your Override YAML; keeping it does no harm either.

@SimoneBnc, the same release makes the tile names bigger where a tile has room for them: one column of tiles on a CYD standing up, and a double-width tile like your SDM120 one lying down. Your photo is still the old size; after the update that name is noticeably larger. Narrow tiles, like the two columns of a CYD lying down, keep the size they had, because a larger name would get cut off there.

Update the app, then update the screen. A photo after the update would be great to see how it reads on your panel.

Yes, it is bigger now.

I think the Bold font makes it less readable on this small resolution
