Building a Touchscreen Smart Hub with AI — Waveshare ESP32-S3 1.85" (Clock, Weather, Radio & More)

Building a full smart home hub on the Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch LCD 1.85" round display — clock, weather, bin schedule, alarm, internet radio, MP3 player, an info screen and a browser-based settings page — using AI prompts instead of hand-writing the code.

I'll walk through exactly how I prompt the AI, the patterns that make it work first try, and the common mistakes that waste hours (the LVGL font setting that catches everyone).

⚠️ COMMON ERROR — READ THIS
LVGL ships with the Montserrat fonts disabled. If your screen is blank or wrong after flashing, open libraries/lvgl/src/lv_conf.h and switch the fonts you need from 0 to 1 (at least Montserrat 14, 22, 28 and 48). This is the #1 thing people get stuck on.
