# ESPHome
## Logging
Avoid excessive log, or at least avoid excessive log at DEBUG level,
but if you look around this project, many of the functionalities will log like this:
```yaml
sensor:
- id: my_sensor
...
on_change:
- lambda: |-
static const char *const TAG = "sensor.my_sensor";
ESP_LOGD(TAG, "New value: %f", x); // No need to log this, use only when needed
if (id(is_uploading_tft)) {
ESP_LOGD(TAG, "Skipping any action as a TFT upload is in progress"); // No need to log this, use only when needed
} else {
// Your code here
}
```
## Page opened
When a new page is opened, a script name `page_changed` (whith a parameter `page` containing a
string with the page name) is called and that one will call a page specific script named `page_<page_name>`.
In addition, pages with multiple pages (entitypageXX, buttonpageXX and weatherXX) will also call
a generic page named `page_entitypage`, `page_buttonpage` or `page_weather` with a parameter
`page_number` containing the number of the page called.
If you want to execute expecific code when a page is opened, you can extend the functionality of that specific page:
```yaml
script:
- id: !extend page_changed
then:
# Code to run when any page is opened
- lambda: |-
static const char *const TAG = "script.page_changed (custom)";
ESP_LOGD(TAG, "Custom code for page changed");
ESP_LOGD(TAG, "This is the new page: %s", page.c_str());
- id: !extend page_buttonpage
then:
# Code to run when any buttonpage is openend
- id: !extend page_buttonpage02
then:
# Code to run when buttonpage02 is opened
```
## Managing conflicts with Upload TFT
The TFT upload is the most resource conmsuming task in this project and should have all the resources available,
so when creating something, please take in account:
### Stop your scripts before the upload starts
If you create a new script that should be stopped previous a Upload TFT starts,
please add your script to the `stop_all` script like this:
```yaml
script:
- id: !extend stop_all
then:
- script.stop: my_new_script_id
```
### Check for upload status before starting any action
There is a global `is_uploading_tft` which will be true when the upload TFT process starts,
so you can use this in your code like this:
```yaml
sensor:
- id: my_sensor
...
on_change:
- if:
condition:
- lambda: !lambda return (!id(is_uploading_tft))
then:
# your code here
```
or:
```yaml
sensor:
- id: my_sensor
...
on_change:
- lambda: |-
static const char *const TAG = "sensor.my_sensor";
ESP_LOGD(TAG, "New value: %f", x); // No need to log this, use only when needed
if (id(is_uploading_tft)) {
ESP_LOGD(TAG, "Skipping any action as a TFT upload is in progress"); // No need to log this, use only when needed
} else {
// Your code here
}
```
or if you are setting up a script (largely used in this project) it can just kill itself if `is_uploading_tft`:
```yaml
scripts:
- id: my_new_script_id
...
then:
- lambda: |-
if (id(is_uploading_tft)) my_new_script_id->stop();
// Your code here
```
