Waveshare E-Paper Display

: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.
Depending on your specific revision of the board you might need to try out the ``-b73`` or ``-b1`` version (see below).
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** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The CS pin.
- **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``
- ``1.54inv2``
- ``2.13in`` (not tested)
- ``2.13in-ttgo`` (T5_V2.3 tested. Also works for Wemos D1 Mini ePaper Shield 2.13 1.0.0 "LOLIN")
- ``2.13in-ttgo-b73`` (T5_V2.3 with B73 display tested)
- ``2.13in-ttgo-b1`` (T5_V2.3 with B1 display tested)
- ``2.70in`` (currently not working with the HAT Rev 2.1 version)
- ``2.90in``
- ``2.90inv2``
- ``2.90in-b`` (B/W rendering only)
- ``4.20in``
- ``5.83in``
- ``7.50in``
- ``7.50inV2`` (Can't use with an ESP8266 as it runs out of RAM)
- **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``, ``1.54inv2``, ``2.13in``, ``2.90in`` and ``2.90inv2`` 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``, use ``never`` to only manually update the screen via ``component.update``.
- **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.
