No, what I mean is to try if the screen is working, put one of those recognized texts as input to the “weather\_text” card.

First of all great work.  
Maybe a good suggestion.

At the moment if the display loses its wifi connection there comes a display with the SSID and Password.  
Is it possible to not show the password or blur the password.

You can comment the line below. This will show the error message without the password line.  
(comment with 2 // at the begin of the line)

```auto
//writeln((GFXfont *)&OpenSans14B, ("PASSWORD: " + String(password)).c_str(), &errorPassword_x, &errorPassword_y, NULL);

```

Yes. Ensure you disable “Erase All Flash Content Before Sketch Upload” to conserve your settings

@JPe4619 i used arduino 2.0 and it worked 😉  
however, @sebyldino the weather icone is broken again, for now i added the new weather icon.

If we like to add more symbol’s, what is youre prefered action? we suggest them ? or can we make them and supply to you to maybe be added in future versions?

big thanks for the work! is there a way to offer you a coffee for this? 🙂

Just update to the new version and everything went well, even the Dutch language integration and weather icons.

Is it possible to use 2 lines in the value cards?  
As you see in the picture the temperature cards are showing _20.4 °C 49.3 % RV_  
Is it possible to use it like this:  
_20.4 °C_  
_49.3 % RV_

@Yov which language setting did you use? Beware that, due to implementation of language in the new version, the weather descriptions/text are only recognised if they are in the same language as the setting. So if you want to use English weather, use language setting “EN”.  
Weather icons are working for me with setting “NL” and Dutch weather text.

I flashed NL first but changed again to EN, have been using homey and al its functions in English anyways. But the icoon stayed homey symbol.

Hello,  
Which weather app are you using?  
I used Open Weather Map, in the code there are the descriptions i found [here](https://openweathermap.org/weather-conditions)

In the last release i published, i reorganized the code and i put all languages in the [“language.ino”](https://github.com/sebyldino/Homey_e-paper/blob/main/language.ino) file.

You can edit it as you want, you need to respect capital an lowercase letters.

The problem was the EN list not being complete 😉 i have a “Clear” as weather description and this was not in the list. 🙂 i fear this wil be the case for all in EN as i notice openweather using the “main” words over the descirption. Same for Clouds description is cloudy but openweather uses “capital C”  
but good to know we can change this ourself. 🙂
