ESPHome Display Component for LILYGO T5 4.7" V2.3 (ESP32-S3)

Overview

The esphome-lilygo-t547plus project provides a custom ESPHome Display component specifically for the LILYGO T5 4.7-inch ESP32-S3 (V2.3, also called "Plus") e-paper display — not to be confused with the older ESP32-based T5 4.7 V1.

With this component, you can use standard ESPHome YAML to draw text, graphs, icons, and sensor values on the large 960×540 e-paper panel, fully integrated with Home Assistant. Typical use cases include weather dashboards, sensor summaries, temperature graphs, stock/currency tickers, and calendar displays.

Features

• ESPHome external_components integration (github://nickolay/esphome-lilygo-t547plus)
• Standard ESPHome display platform (platform: t547) — use all native ESPHome drawing functions
• Configurable update interval (e.g., 30 seconds)
• Full Home Assistant integration via ESPHome API
• Works with sensor entities, text entities, and REST API data
• Examples include temperature graphs, sunrise/sunset, currency values

Hardware

• LILYGO T5 4.7" ESP32-S3 V2.3 (T5-4.7 Plus, ED047 panel, 960×540)
• Note: This component is for the ESP32-S3 version only; not compatible with the original ESP32 V1 board
