Our custom round home control panels

This affordable ESP32 based touch panel with IPS capacitive screen made me reconsider not putting home automation screens in the house.

Its round shape is perfect for showing power curves on its circumference and makes it slightly more organic compared to the rectangular light boxes we immediately recognise as phones or computers.

I ended up designing and 3D printing an enclosure for it and combining OpenHASP with some python code to integrate it with the Home Assistant setup.

Power indicator Gauge

My openHASP control panels have been eye catchers on my desk for years now. I've been using the WT32-SC01 Plus one for over a year to keep an eye on the electric power use in our house.

I designed a fancy power dial with extra arc indicators on the outside and a dynamic list of the biggest power consumers in the middle..

openHASP touch display build

I discovered openHASP while I was searching for projects integrating touch interfaces with Home Assistant.

It's easy to wire up a cheap ESP microcontroller board and TFT display module, and by loading this opensource firmware you can turn it into a network connected touch control panel and control devices and display things.

When I bumped into a nice 2.8" TFT Desktop stand enclosure on thingiverse, I remembered I had an unused 2.8" ILI9341 display with resistive touch layer from a previous project.

Connecting the dots... I had all the necessary parts in my workshop, this would make a nice project to make over a weekend evening.
