Using static_text entries but it is not updated at runtime

• All OS with version [e.g. Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04]
• Python version > 3.7

In addition to the date/time metrics, would love to see the Network In/Out if readily availalbe.

Why - this secondary monitor screen will be a nice addition to NAS system like Synology DS or other headless home theater PC(HTPC)

Currently using it on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ (running Retropie) however CPU temp is not supported

I love this idea, but it should probably be it's own feature request.

Hi,

My purpose:

I used datetime.

In main.py, add:

scheduler.DateStats()

In scheduler.py, add:

@async_job("Date_Stats")
@schedule(timedelta(seconds=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE'].get("INTERVAL", None)).total_seconds())
def DateStats():
    # logger.debug("Refresh date stats")
    stats.Date.stats()

In stats.py, add:

class Date:
    @staticmethod
    def stats():
        date_now = datetime.datetime.now()

        if THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("SHOW", False):
            display.lcd.DisplayText(
                text=f"{date_now.day}-{date_now.month}-{date_now.year}",
                x=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("X", 0),
                y=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("Y", 0),
                font=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("FONT", "roboto-mono/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf"),
                font_size=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("FONT_SIZE", 10),
                font_color=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("FONT_COLOR", (0, 0, 0)),
                background_color=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("BACKGROUND_COLOR", (255, 255, 255)),
                background_image=get_full_path(THEME_DATA['PATH'],
                                               THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['DAY']['TEXT'].get("BACKGROUND_IMAGE",
                                                                                               None))
            )

        if THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("SHOW", False):
            display.lcd.DisplayText(
                text=f"{date_now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')}",
                x=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("X", 0),
                y=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("Y", 0),
                font=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("FONT", "roboto-mono/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf"),
                font_size=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("FONT_SIZE", 10),
                font_color=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("FONT_COLOR", (0, 0, 0)),
                background_color=THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("BACKGROUND_COLOR", (255, 255, 255)),
                background_image=get_full_path(THEME_DATA['PATH'],
                                               THEME_DATA['STATS']['DATE']['HOUR']['TEXT'].get("BACKGROUND_IMAGE",
                                                                                                None))
            )

In your theme.yaml:

  DATE:
    # In seconds. Longer intervals cause this to refresh more slowly.
    # Setting to lower values will display near real time data,
    # but may cause significant CPU usage or the display not to update properly
    INTERVAL: 1
    DAY:
      TEXT:
        SHOW: True
        X: 4
        Y: 4
        FONT: roboto-mono/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf
        FONT_SIZE: 16
        FONT_COLOR: 53, 191, 92
        # BACKGROUND_COLOR: 0, 0, 0
        BACKGROUND_IMAGE: background.png
    HOUR:
      TEXT:
        SHOW: True
        X: 160
        Y: 4
        FONT: roboto-mono/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf
        FONT_SIZE: 16
        FONT_COLOR: 53, 191, 92
        # BACKGROUND_COLOR: 0, 0, 0
        BACKGROUND_IMAGE: background.png
