1 year ago Hey Matthew,
So what I was thinking here was:
- 50x50mm prism
- Xiao ESP32C3
- Grove Smart IR Gesture Sensor
- 2.2 inch square screen
For the device itself I was thinking a 3D printed enclosure that holds the prism and the screen at a slight tilt giving a nice viewing angle similar. Beneath that the gesture sensor will have its camera visible allowing for gesture based controls.
Control capabilities: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/grove_gesture_paj7660/#gesture-types
Suggested initial controls:
- Swipe left and right to switch screens
- Pinch for selection
- Rotation of finger for adjusting options on a given screen
So for an instance if one screen had an arc visible to control a smart home light one could swipe to that screen, pinch to select enabling the arc control, rotate your finger to move the selector, pinch to set the final value.
Initial screens:
- Animated browser
- Cryptocurrency tracking screen (showing the state of given coins)
- Home (default)
- Configuration
Animated browser:
- Loads with pages for each imported image
- Rotation with finger to cycle through the pages
- Pinching to hide the rest of the UI like page select to only show the image
- Initial images: Fire, Rain, Snow, Cloudy, Sunny, Thunderstorm, etc.
- A readme page indicating how to import images for the browser such that users can import their own animated gifs for display
The goal of this page is primarily to allow users the ability to take advantage of the device screen for the purposes of displaying neat animations while still using this firmware.
Cryptocurrency:
- Was thinking here to use the rotational feature when on the page to switch between subpages (with subpage shown via a numeric indicator ie: 5/20), the subpage would be remembered if the user switched back to that page as well
- A separate page for each main cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. with the 24 hour change visible with an arrow pointing up or down
Home:
- Clock displayed at the bottom of the screen (perhaps clock fades away if sensor doesn't detect user after a period and fades back after a short period when the user appears to give that first impression of just the visual effect of the weather)
- Animated weather displayed above clock area on screen (clouds passing for cloudy, snow, rainstorm, thunderstorm as needed)
- Temperature and humidity shown along with clock
WEATHER

Clock T HWas thinking in this way the animated weather is given the main focus here.
Configuration:
- Controls -- Rotate finger to select a specific element -- Pinch to begin editing the value (ie switching 24 hour clock dropdown into a list mode) -- Rotate finger to select between choices -- Pinch to select
- 24 hour clock select dropdown
- Brightness select slider
- Clock behavior (fade on inactivity, always show)
- Potentially screensaver picking from the full animation list (sans weather options) and the timing for how long the screensaver waits to turn on
Subsequent potential followup enhancements:
- Create screen to control devices via home assistant (similar to SenseCAP Indicator https://github.com/Seeed-Solution/SenseCAP_Indicator_ESP32/tree/main/examples/indicator_ha)
- Stock ticker screen of some form (similar to the cryptocurrency tracker so feels redundant here)
- Integration with Google calendar for a list of events for the day
- Tamagotchi-esc pet could be added and simple actions like feeding, taking care, etc. could be done. The unique nature of the screen here makes for a more compelling experience for something like this.
I'll keep brainstorming. I think these features would make for an initial really cool prism display for a home assistant.
