Describe the enhancement
The waveshare_epaper component as it works today seems to allow only allow B/W rendering on displays such as the
7.50inV2
and7.50inV2p
, in my understanding due to memory limitations.This type of display is being used by the folks at TRMNL, and someone has done an implementation that allows 2 bit grayscale to be displayed on these epapers.
usetrmnl/trmnl-firmware#201
If someone could potentially "port" this into ESPHome, it would probably be an interesting improvement over the existing functionality
Use cases
Grayscale with 4 or 8 colours would potentially allow an epaper display to be much more useful for displaying Home Assistant information or dashboards (via online_image component).
Anything else?
