Raspberry PICO W: Use Wifi, MQTT to display (Pimoroni) certain values like solar power! PART 1:WiFi

This time we will connect a Raspberry PicoW to our WiFi, subscribe on certain MQTT topics by connecting to our mosquitto broker on our PI and display these reading on our Pimoroni pico display pack.
We will also use the buttons of our Pico Display to switch between different views. For that we will use interrupt handlers to get the button press at any time while our Pico is looking for new MQTT messages.
My current aim is to divide this into three chapters.
This is chapter 1: The setup and WiFi connection.
Chapter 1: Setting up our PicoW with the Pimoroni display-W-firmware and connecting to our home WiFi: • Raspberry PICO W: Use...
Chapter 2: Connecting to our MQTT message broker, subscribing on certain topics and decoding the JSON messages: • Raspberry PICO W: Use...
Chapter 3: Visualization of our data on a Pimoroni pico display. Using IRQ for buttons to switch between different views: • Raspberry PICO W: Wif...

Looking forward to Part 2.

Any idea to expand this to display further important data like the daily prices offered by tibber ?
And beyond that: what low power display / epaper can you recommand also for handicapped that need goggles and prefer bigger screens?
The pimoroni is quite small or too small and the waveshare were nice but missing all the stuff pimoroni had to offer.
Goal is to distribute solar power data to displays through the house and elderly parents with not the best sight anymore. Also to prepare a charging decision duriung tibber off peak times (LFP home storage) based on weather & sun forecast aoc.
Thanks - subscribed for the whole display story you had covered and I had watched earlier.

thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I can't recommend any other screens as I just play a bit with what I share and do not know the whole offerings existing. I rather check the cheap and little things just of curiosity.
