Description

@davelee98

Hi - Collecting a wishlist of features for 3.0. Please add your comments.

Features:

  • Functioning OTA for all firmware (from inside HA or py-opendisplay)
  • Custom colors/LUTs for Spectra devices
  • Super-fast refresh for spectra + non-spectra
  • Better deep sleep coordination
  • Longer battery life
  • WIFI-only support (i.e. device works without BLE)
  • clock/etc. overlays?
  • Use of SD card/storage for image content
  • Use of buttons to switch between stored images

Technical Improvements:

  • use of an API-style framework to update config/authentication
  • Single Firmware source for all hardware targets (nrf52840, NRF54, ESP32 series, silabs, TSLR, etc.)
  • nonce-reuse fix with updated protocol
  • "Factory" firmware for common commercially available devices

    +1 for on-device image storage.

    My use case: EN04 + 7.3" Spectra 6 photo frame. I send photos from my phone (I built a custom PWA), since BLE from my server can't reach the frame.
    I would like to be able to upload several images at once, store them on the device, and rotate them on a timer.

    I'd love a feature that displays stored images according to a schedule.

    I'm using my display to show a calendar, and it feels silly to have to push a new image every time a meeting ends. It would be great if I could upload several images in advance, each with a scheduled display time, and have the device switch between them on its own without needing a connection.
