I see you added support for esp32-S2 chips. I have a couple of Esp32-s2 mini. How do I configure for that? I don't see any S2 board options...

EDIT: Ok, I see it now in the Dev branch. Where are the input/output pins/gpios defined? They are completely different from the std builds... I do see this

I assume those are the PIN numbers? There is no correlation I could find in any docs online of PIN numbers to D2,D2,D3, etc for the ESP32-S2 Mini chip.

What is HSPI?

I have a pin labeled LED on my display, I assume that's wired to pin 36? Is there a reference somewhere of "D" nomenclature to PIN numbers?

-D TFT_BCKL=36  ;None, configurable via web UI (e.g. 2 for D4)

lastly, what is pin "-1" ? No connection?

[fvanroie]

Unless you have a compelling reason to use the S2 mini, I would advice to use a regular ESP32 or even an ESP32-S3.
The S2 is under specced with only 320kB RAM vs 520 kB in the other series.

Dear sir l request you to release a HASwitchPlate version to support TT Lillygo T-Watch display so that the Home Automation comes to ground breaking Wearable level. TT Lillygo T-Watch has all the hardware features you need to convert it into a HASwitchPlate. Please consider this and come out with a good news soon.

Why this build is not available for Sunton ESP32-4827S043 using web installer? It seems very difficult to set up in PlatformIO environment. Or is there any guideline for PlatformIO setup for newbies?
Thank you in advance

[fvanroie]

ESP32-S3 boards are only supported since 0.7.0, which isn't formally released yet. You can get the latest dev build from nightly.openhasp.com or the Actions tab in Github.

Hi, thank you for fast reply. I installed the last build 0.7.0. I have screen flickering effect. The information on the screen is visible. HTTP works. But Screen can't be discovered in Home Assistant. May I provide some contribution for testing this device?
