:description: Instructions for setting up Waveshare E-Paper displays in ESPHome.
:image: waveshare_epaper.jpg
The ``waveshare_epaper`` display platform allows you to use
some E-Paper displays sold by `Waveshare <https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper.htm>`__
with ESPHome. The 2.13" `TTGO module <https://github.com/lewisxhe/TTGO-EPaper-Series>`__ with an ESP32 on the board is supported as well.
Similar modules sold by other vendors might also work but not have been tested yet. Currently only
single-color E-Ink displays are implemented and of those only a few modules.

Waveshare E-Paper 2.9 Inch E-Paper Display.
The communication ESPHome has chosen to use for this integration is 4-wire :ref:`SPI <spi>`, as it's the most stable
and high-speed. So you need to make sure your board is set to the 4-wire SPI mode and have an ``spi:`` section in your
configuration.

Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **cs_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin on the ESP that that the CS line is connected to.
The CS line can be connected to GND if this is the only device on the SPI bus.
- **dc_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The DC pin.
- **model** (**Required**): The model of the E-Paper display. Options are:
- ``1.54in``
- ``2.13in`` (not tested)
- ``2.13in-ttgo`` (T5_V2.3 tested)
- ``2.70in``
- ``2.90in``
- ``2.90in-b`` (B/W rendering only)
- ``4.20in``
- ``5.83in``
- ``7.50in``
- ``7.50inV2``
- **busy_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The BUSY pin. Defaults to not connected.
- **reset_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The RESET pin. Defaults to not connected.
Make sure you pull this pin high (by connecting it to 3.3V with a resistor) if not connected to a GPIO pin.
- **rotation** (*Optional*): Set the rotation of the display. Everything you draw in ``lambda:`` will be rotated
by this option. One of ```` (default), ``90°``, ``180°``, ``270°``.
- **full_update_every** (*Optional*, int): E-Paper displays have two modes of switching to the next image: A partial
update that only changes the pixels that have changed and a full update mode that first clears the entire display
and then re-draws the image. The former is much quicker and nicer, but every so often a full update needs to happen
because artifacts accumulate. On the ``1.54in``, ``2.13in`` and ``2.90in`` models you have the option to switch only
do a full-redraw every x-th time using this option. Defaults to ``30`` on the described models and a full update for
all other models.
- **lambda** (*Optional*, :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The lambda to use for rendering the content on the display.
See :ref:`display-engine` for more information.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to re-draw the screen. Defaults to ``10s``.
- **pages** (*Optional*, list): Show pages instead of a single lambda. See :ref:`display-pages`.
- **spi_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`SPI Component <spi>` if you want
to use multiple SPI buses.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
