As someone who’s been exploring the world of smart home automation, I’ve recently taken the plunge into ESPHome after years of using Home Assistant. I thought starting with this ESP32-C6 module with its tiny screen would be a fun and manageable project. However, it’s turned out to be a bit more challenging than I anticipated!
The device is connected and visible in Home Assistant, but I’m struggling to get the screen to display anything. After digging through logs and config files, I noticed this recurring issue:
[09:11:10][W][component:237]: Component display took a long time for an operation (101 ms). [09:11:10][W][component:238]: Components should block for at most 30 ms.
I’ve been referencing the ESPHome documentation and ST7789V TFT LCD setup guides, but I’m hitting a wall. My config file is set up as follows:
esphome: name: abc friendly_name: ABCesp32: board: esp32-c6-devkitc…
I’m wondering if there’s something fundamental I’m missing in the configuration. Should I be adjusting the display timing or power settings? Any insights or suggestions would be incredibly helpful. I’m determined to crack this, but it would be great to have some guidance from the community!
Tip: If you’re also working with ESP32-C6 displays, make sure to check your log levels and ensure all dependencies are correctly installed. Sometimes a fresh install or a minor tweak can make all the difference!
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who’s tackled similar challenges. Let’s keep the learning journey going!
