Waveshare E-Paper Display
=========================
The ``waveshare_epaper`` display platform allows you to use
some E-Paper displays sold by `Waveshare <https://www.waveshare.com/product/modules/oleds-lcds/e-paper.htm>`__
with esphomelib. 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 esphomelib 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``
- ``2.13in`` (not tested)
- ``2.70in`` (not tested)
- ``2.90in``
- ``4.20in`` (not tested)
- ``7.50in`` (not tested)
- **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``.
- **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.
