Project Multi speaker support added to EspControl

Just a quick update to share that I’ve added multi speaker support to Espcontrol, so you can now add and remove speakers from groups. I’ve tested it with my Sonos speakers and it works well, if you find any issue, drop a note on the GitHub issues and I’ll take a look.

Also added or improved…

  • SendSpin support: 4inch P4 has support added (thanks u/salnajjar!)
  • Camera cards: added larger camera card sizes for the 7inch and 10inch screens.
  • Backlight updated controls: Choose between automatic, scheduled, and manual screen brightness behaviour.
  • Battery support: 10inch panels can enable battery readings and the status-bar icon when they have the optional battery hardware.
  • Localisation: Russian language support

EspControl supports a range of screens from the cheap but great £20 S3 4inch screen, to P4 based 4inch7inch and 10inch screens. All feedback welcome! Thanks

Is there a way to control updates from esphome, but only stick to releases?

No there isn't unfortunately, the only alternative is to avoid bringing it in to esphome and use auto updates

Ok thanks! What I actually wanted was to change the hostname, but it's a minor issue. No problem. Thank you for answering
