Home Assistant ESP Screens

Home Assistant is open-source home-automation software developed by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. It provides local control and privacy-focused operation for connected devices and actions, with a modular integration system that allows support for additional devices and automations to be added. It can run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server and is available with installation instructions, tutorials, documentation, and a web demo.

VibePulse is an always-on ESP32-S3 AMOLED panel and local-first host service for monitoring Claude Code and Codex usage, live agent activity, and prompts that need user input. The panel displays quota information and agent status, raises a full-screen NEEDS YOU alert when an agent is waiting, and can send supported decisions back through a tap on the display. A pure-standard-library Python service runs on a macOS or Windows computer and communicates with the panel over the local network. The project supports optional, default-off relays: a numbers-only relay for quota data, an encrypted interaction relay for supported NEEDS YOU decisions, and an independent status relay for Claude/Codex activity. The repository describes the core panel loop, Windows host lifecycle, and physical prompt-answer flow as verified, with cloud features disabled by default.

Desko is an open-source desk dashboard that turns a spare phone into an always-on display. A lightweight Python process on a PC collects data and pushes it over WebSocket to a browser tab on a phone on the same Wi-Fi network, with no phone app, account, cloud service, or build tooling required. The dashboard cycles through five scenes: an idle view with clocks, weather, battery, latency, and PC uptime; a music view with album art, synchronized karaoke lyrics, and PC playback controls; a statistics view with CPU and GPU load and temperatures, memory, network activity, sparklines, and an optional running game; a development view with workspace, Git branch status, changed files, cursor position, commits, and lines, sourced from VS Code or Git; and a focus view with a server-side Pomodoro timer. Scenes can be manually selected or pinned, and widgets hide when their underlying data sources are unavailable.

HoloCubic_AIO is open-source all-in-one firmware for the HoloCubic ESP32 device, developed around the ESP32-Arduino platform. Its modular framework combines applications including weather clocks, a photo album, MJPEG or RGB video playback from a FAT32 TF card, desktop screen sharing, effects animations, a 2048 game, Bilibili follower information, anniversaries, heartbeat messaging over MQTT, stock quotes, and web-based configuration. The firmware provides a web server for Wi-Fi setup, system and application settings, self-starting application selection, and wireless file management or uploads to the TF card. It also supports an access-point setup mode, browser access through a local IP address or the `holocubic` hostname, and a companion open-source desktop tool for firmware flashing and media conversion. The repository contains the firmware source and documents ESP32-Pico Arduino and PlatformIO build requirements, MPU6050 startup calibration, TF-card dependencies, and application-specific network or file requirements.
