# Displays
## SSD1306 Display (Heltec SX127X and LILYGO® LoRa32 boards)
Several options are available for the display of information on the SSD1306 display. Some options are exclusive to each other, and when a different option is enabled, the current option is disabled.
The current SSD1306 display states are being published to the `SSD1306toMQTT` topic, e.g.
`{"onstate":true,"brightness":50,"display-metric":true,"display-flip":true,"idlelogo":true,"log-lcd":false,"json-lcd":true}`
### Display ON/OFF
To turn the SSD1306 display on or off.
This can be enabled with the compiler directive `-DDISPLAY_STATE=true`.
MQTT Display OFF command:
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m {"onstate":false}`
MQTT Display ON command:
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m {"onstate":true}`
### Brightness
The display brightness can be set between 0-100%.
It is recommended to set a value lower than 100 to extend the life of the OLED display. The default setting is 50.
This can be set with the compiler directive `-DDISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS=50`.
or with the runtime command
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m {"brightness":50}`
### Metric or Imperial property units
To have applicable device properties displayed in Imperial units, e.g. °F for temperature.
This can be set with the compiler directive `-DDISPLAY_METRIC=false`.
or with the runtime command
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m {"display-metric":false}`
### Rotating the display by 180 degrees
This can be set with the compiler directive `-DDISPLAY_FLIP=false`.
or with the runtime command
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m {"display-flip":false}`
### Display idle Logo
To display the OpenMQTTGateway logo during device display idle time. This reduces the likelihood of burn-in.
This can be set with the compiler directive `-DDISPLAY_IDLE_LOGO=true`.
or at runtime with
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m {"idlelogo":true}`
### Setting the log output
The display of serial log messages to the display can be enabled via compiler directive `-DLOG_TO_LCD=true` or via MQTT commands.
For example if you want to set the serial log to LCD
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m '{"log-lcd":true}'`
you can also revert it back to the serial monitor:
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m '{"log-lcd":false}'`
The log level of the messages displayed is Errors and Warnings, and this can only be changed via the compiler directive `-DLOG_LEVEL_LCD=LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE`.
### Displaying Module json messages (default)
The display of messages from various modules is also supported. Currently supported modules include `ZgatewayRTL_433`, `ZgatewayBT` and `ZsensorBME280`.
This can be enabled with the compiler directive `-DJSON_TO_LCD=true`.
You can also change it by MQTT. For example if you want to display module json messages:
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m '{"json-lcd":true}'`
And to disable the display of module json messages:
`mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSSD1306/config -m '{"display-json":false}'`
