HomeTiles v0.6.6

HomeTiles v0.6.6 adds a guided browser flasher and improves Home Assistant controls, OTA reliability, and ESP32-S3 display stability.

Highlights

  • Added the guided HomeTiles Browser Installer for USB updates, first installations, and factory resets.
  • Corrected Climate and Light availability, capabilities, and controls.
  • Weather popups now open after either a short or long press is released.
  • Improved Guition ESP32-S3 display recovery after boot and update checks.
  • Improved ESP32-P4 Web Admin OTA staging and upload performance.
  • Added practical screensaver JPEG size, format and resolution guidance.

Update Notes

Update HomeTiles Bridge to v0.6.36 through HACS, restart Home Assistant, then update the display. Use the regular .bin for OTA and _factory.bin only for a first installation or intentional full reset.

Hardware Confirmed

M5Stack Tab5, Waveshare 4B/86 Panel/8-inch, Guition JC8012 V1, Guition ESP32-S3, and the JC8012 V2 display, touch, brightness, and OTA mapping.

Pending Hardware Validation

JC8012 V2 microSD, Waveshare 7/10.1-inch, and JC1060 microSD on the exact _I_W_Y hardware remain unconfirmed.

Thanks to @SeKam68 for the V2 hardware data and detailed OTA report, and to @projectthirty3, @majki09 and @thewan056 for the screensaver JPEG findings.
