Created a custom component to use the TFT_eSPI library with ESPHOME, as my TFT panel was not natively recognised by ESPHOME. Created a 3D printed case to accomodate the display as well as the ESP32 board behind.
Went through all hurdles of integrating an external library to build a custom component, but managed after a lot of efforts. Hope it can help others!

Yes, not exactly this model, but one of the many clones. I stopped using it with a RPi and wanted to find it a new purpose, but was not natively supported by ESPHOME, so had to find a workaround with TFT_eSPI library

and the touch screen works?
i have one of these screens on a pi3 atm u see - it runs pihole and i use the screen to show a HA dashboard on it
for me it would be better to get this screen off the pi and onto an ESP32

yes touchscreen works pretty well, with a caveat of its calibration (ESPHOME doesn't like processes that block the execution for too long). I had to hardcode calibration values.

Same here, HA dashboard was not optimal, I prefered to have a more native control of the graphics.
