Pasting my code into the Arduino IDE from the link below:

Esp32_Code

// In my code linked above change the values of those lines:

// WiFi credentials
const char* ssid = "x"; // Wifi Name
const char* password = "x"; Wifi Password

// API endpoints
const char* connectionInformation = "http://x/home/configuration"; // Replace x with the HomeApi ip address (not localhost)

In the top menu bar inside Arduino IDE, click: Tools -> Manage Libraries -> Search for following libraries and install them:

  • ArduinoJson
  • GUI_Paint
  • JPEGDEC

Then you should be all set for clicking on the upload button in the Arduino IDE. If you have the HomeApi started and configured, it should now show an image of the weather forecast.
