 # Selfhost utilities
+
 A collection of utilities for self hosters.
 Every utility is in a folder with its relevant configuration and is completely separated from the other, so you can install only the ones you need.
 
 ## 🚨 HEALTHCHECK
+
 A simple server health check.
 Allows to keep under control the machine vitals (cpu usage, raid status, thermals...) and alert the sysadmin in case of anomalies.

 ## 🖥 MDDCLIENT
+
 A DynDns2 client supporting multiple domains with individual API calls. Developed to allow updating multiple (sub)domains on Infomaniak dynamic DNS, that supports only one domain per request. Works with any provider supporting DynDns2 protocol.
 
 Please see [mddclient documentation](mddclient/README.md)
 
+## 📟 ESP32-LCD
+
+A status LCD for your homelab! Low cost (about 20€ in parts), simple to build (no circuit board, no components, only an LCD, a ESP32 and, if needed, a potentiometer). Connects to your local wifi and receives HTTP requests from your homelab machines, and shows them to the screen.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 The ESP32 logs are written in the serial monitor at 115200 baud. Just open the Arduino ide Serial Monitor from Tools menu and look at the logs.

+If the screen is supplied with power but not initialized (maybe due to bad contacts or non working esp32 firmware), it should show some black blocks on the first line. If you canot see those (nor any other text), first of all check the contrast using the potentiometer.
