For the ESP32, an hero is in the process of adding LVGL[1] to ESPHome[2][3]. You can try it out now: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6363

Here's the (very good!) preview documentation: https://deploy-preview-3678--esphome.netlify.app/components/...

This is such a game-changer for me that I'll be using the ESP32 over the ESP8266 for any projects involving displays from now on.

This is amazing! Thanks for the tip. My ESP32 dev board with a display is in the hands of Fedex right now, so this is perfect timing :)

"An hero" means something unexpected: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/an_hero , https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/an-hero

It means suicide to some miscreants from 2006; the phrase is also grammatically incorrect. It certainly does not mean something unexpected.

Oh, sorry, thanks for pointing that out!

This is great news! I recently discovered LVGL and was thinking that it would be great to have in a esphome module. I currently have a few of the small i2c OLED displays going, but they are quite limited.

Many thanks to those working on it. Can't wait to try the preview.
