The interactive panel joins the home LAN over Wi-Fi and keeps a persistent connection to the Home Assistant host — both panels use the ESPHome Native API (TCP 6053). Touch actions convert directly into Home Assistant entity events, while light and sensor state updates sync back to the panel in real time.
Smart Home Control Panel
Control lights and whole-home scenes with a gentle tap on a dedicated panel.
Always-on smart home interaction screen built on Home Assistant — both an e-paper reTerminal E1003 and a color SenseCAP Indicator connect over the ESPHome native API, with zero cloud dependency.
Reusable Site Templates
Bedside tables, entryways, and living rooms where a dedicated screen for whole-home control belongs.
Bedside dimming and toggle
The E1003 e-paper panel toggles lights or adjusts brightness without glaring backlights disturbing sleep.
Entryway leave and arrive scenes
Trigger Leave Home to shut off lights by the door, or tap Arrive Home to restore lighting.
Living room atmosphere scenes
Switch between cinema, reading, and entertaining presets with dedicated touch zones.
Supports standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; Home Assistant must be on the same local network. Both panels join through the Home Assistant ESPHome integration; no MQTT broker is needed.
How it works
The touch panel (E1003 e-paper or Indicator color LCD) joins the home LAN and connects to the Home Assistant host over the ESPHome native API, synchronizing keys and sensor state in both directions.
Touch Interactive Panel
Two form factors: reTerminal E1003 pairs an ESP32-S3 with a 10.3-inch ultra-low-power e-paper screen that refreshes only on state changes and retains visuals without power; SenseCAP Indicator offers a color LCD touch screen for information-denser spots.
Local Native Network
The panel connects via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi to the local network: both panels talk to Home Assistant directly over the ESPHome Native API (TCP 6053), with no MQTT broker needed. All communication stays within the LAN with no cloud relay, delivering low latency and complete privacy.
Home Assistant Ecosystem
The Home Assistant host aggregates both panels: E1003 keys and dimming states, and Indicator temperature, humidity, CO2 and tVOC sensors and switches, all register as ESPHome entities automatically (MQTT stays optional). Both drive automations and scene transitions across Zigbee, Matter, and Wi-Fi devices.
