 ## Background
 
-There are some “RGB-matrices” status displays/clocks out there, the commercial ones from LaMetric and Ulanzi, also some excellent DIY-alternatives.

 All of the various solutions have their pros and cons. I tried some and used AWTRIX for a long time, but I found it lacking in a lot of ways (in my opinion,) so I started work on an esphome.io variant. Targeted for an optimized and extensible Home Assistant integration without paid blueprints, MQTT broker requirement, or the need to upload files to the ESP board.

 ### State
 
-After the [v1](https://github.com/lubeda/EsphoMaTrix) component became popular and receieved additonal feature requests it became clear that yhe v1 [v1](https://github.com/lubeda/EsphoMaTrix)code was a bit of a mess. I reworked all of the code and restructured it to hopefully be much more extensible.
