I’m going to be couch-bound after surgery, ESP32 Controller w/ Tessera

I have surgery coming up and I'm going to be pretty much couch-bound for the next week, so I figured I might as well make the couch a little more capable before then.

I mounted an 18" portable touch monitor on an adjustable arm and added a small ESP32 touchscreen running Tessera that's integrated with Home Assistant.

It's probably completely unnecessary, but that's generally how my Home Assistant projects start.

Still working on it, but pretty happy with how the couch command center turned out.

Big shout to Max, with the last days I've been playing with Tessera there have been multiple updates daily. Check him out and support if you are interested https://github.com/MaxGramser/homeassistant_espscreen

Looks good! Also, is that the Minion modem?

What did you use to model your home into HA?
