Amazing stuff! I was reading the HA community posts earlier as i have just gotten one of these and naturally wanted to integrate it into HA! This is an excellent guide and following it i have successfully integrated the device :)
The one thing i will say is i had trouble with formatting when i just copied and pasted the contents for the sensor.yaml file, not sure why but i had to do a little fiddling to make this work. And as this is using the local IP address to issue the commands which will no doubt be DHCP for most people, it might be worth mentioning that they may wish to add a DHCP reservation to their router otherwise the IP address might change and break the integration.
Hmm strange issue with the copying. Maybe has to do with how I've split up my config...
Good point about DHCP reservation - I really should have mentioned that!
I keep putting off building a pixel art display panel, but it looks like I may have to get one of these pre-built ones now. Thanks for making it easy to get going with HA integration.
No problem! It was fun trying to figure out their API. I still recommend the WLED ones that I've built, but these do have some cool features like the ability to send animated GIFs, etc.
I’m still knee-deep in DIYing a matrix using WLED. With as much hassle as Jinx! is, I think I’m better off just buying this. Thanks again, Aaron!
the divoom timebox evo actually does more from the same app ... the cloud streaming mode is badly needed for the pixoo 64. How can I have it move between a variety of apps and/or backgrounds automatically?
I do have this product and it looks great. The stock app is cook and fairly configurable. I just wish there was a way to rotate between my favorite n apps automatically.
Yeah, it's a fun device for sure!
Is there a way to show dynamic information with Pixoo blueprint? F.e. could I use the blueprint to show room temperature based on sensor information?
You could run the automation whenever the temperature changed, and use the the temperature state for text? You wouldn't be able to with that blueprint though since it's not set up for templating
What is that horizontal pixel display behind you next to the Pixoo?
That's one I made in a previous video: ruclips.net/video/aNpBO0BQZnM/видео.html
Thanks, I enjoyed, time is my enemy. So I might actually just buy this.
It's not a bad alternative to building your own! It would be cool if it had a battery though
@@makeitworktech I'm glad it doesn't have a battery. My experience with their other products which have a battery is that they stop working as soon as the battery dies. I have a couple of Tivoo's with a dead battery and even plugged in they don't work anymore.
Good to know! Why would you design it to work that way?!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Any chance you have found out how to upload images to pixoo through API?
Unfortunately not! I haven't played with it much since.
Great video! Helped me a lot to build dashboard controls and automations for the device, so I don't have to use their confusing app. Has anyone found a way to switch between different clock faces via an API rest call?
Thanks!!
ok, nice but it would be nice if you could build upon the wled display you created (I did the same and I also recompiled the wled firmware adding BME280 :)) I think that wled community is a bit behind these newcoming displays....
Yes WLED is a little behind!
FYI - The Amazon link goes to a Rhode microphone.
Hmmm, it doesn't for me. Weird!
you lost me at "celsius to freedom units" unless I heard it wrong
😂 you heard correctly haha
I like to throw that one in there occasionally
Is there any chance you could make it compatible for other models to control especially times gate?
I wish. I don't think they all work the same
@@makeitworktech times gate seems to have the same channels and works over wifi too
Does it have speakers ?
No, it doesnt!
The cost of assemble one is expensive and need to time to figure it out , might as well just buy this
Could be right for you!
WLED needs to step up their game by adding animations function to their 2D matrix
Yeah, they definitely should! I'm sure that will be coming in the future
I get this error trying this approach, any ideas what I need to do?
This entity ('light.pixoo64') does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail.
Hmmm, not sure. If you post on it discord I can looks at screenshots and try to help
so you do a review and skip half the features because they aren't relevant to you personally , only thing this review taught me was how self centric you are .
Is waste of money better diy
I hear that
I get that not everything is to your taste, but to receive something for free, using terms like "garbage" as a criticism isn't constructive. Saying something is a "waste of time" doesn't help the developers improve and makes you completely unlikeable. You're here to earn the free item you got. Remember that.
I earn the free item with an "honest review", not to provide constructive criticism. It's their job to fix their product, mine to review. Thanks for your constructive criticism!
I call garbage what it is... garbage.
Say WHY it's garbage. And be nicer about it. They didn't have to send you the item.@@makeitworktech
@@makeitworktech No, actually you got it for free publicity for their product AND constructive criticism, which you sorely missed the mark on. Not only did you not provide any information of value to Divoom, you insulted them in the process over a gift product. You seem to feel everyone owes you something. and you owe nothing in return.
@@AlleineDragonfyre it took you that long to come up with a response? And a "garbage" response at that 😁
ciao grazie a te ci sono riuscito. volevo sapere l'ultimo file pixoo-64-text-blueprint.yaml a cosa serve e dove inserirlo
overpriced 10 Bucks display with a 2 Bucks ESP32 in it
Diy is better
"In exchange for an honest review" = paid promotion - and should be flagged as such. Why risk losing your channel over something so easily avoided?
Paid promotions under RUclips rules are specifically those in which you are PAID to promote a product via product placement or endorsement, typically meaning they have influence over what you say about their product. (Not a risk to the channel.)
I understand the concern, and yes, there will always be a bit of bias when you didn't have to pay for a product yourself, but "paid promotion" indicates that I was paid to tell the audience to buy one. This was a review (and adding to the body of knowledge about HA integration) - a review just goes over the features, and I felt I did it honestly. You have to understand that it is not feasible to buy every single product that I want to test out, and at the same time I can't have pressure from the product supplier regrading the content. The little product exposure they gain also puts them at risk since there is no contract and I don't have to "endorse" the product in any way.
Here is an example of one of the most popular tech channels on the platform receiving free products and "reviewing" them: ruclips.net/video/mv9afG2Dm9I/видео.html
@@makeitworktech Receiving free goods is a form of payment and requires the "paid for promotion" flag to be set.

@@dav1dsm1th not according to RUclips! The product is not considered compensation. I've read the rules many times. Thanks for your concern though!
@@makeitworktech Good luck.
