A simple step-by-step guide to Setting up ESPHome for Home Assistant. This simple guide will explain how ESP home works, how to set it up and how to turn an ESP32 into a smart device capable of controlling any number of devices for your smart home.

2. Home Assistant: www.home-assistant.io/
3. ESP32: geni.us/LB99

Hey! thanks! You might need to manually set the IP address in the config. after setting it manually, upload with USB one last time then try wireless again.

Already done that, the device comes online much faster, but the update is not working. Everything seems ok in the logging, but the display won't show content.
How did you get homeassistant Store to work in container? I use docker and STORE is missing

Are you referring to HACS? No I didn’t. Any type of add on is essentially DIY on the container version. Mainly because the add ons themselves are also containers and the home assistant OS will orchestrate the containers for you.
Anytime I try to install firmware from HA, HA crashes. Using a Pi 4B w/1g ram and 2g swap on a SSD. Any idea?

That might not be enough ram. You can, however, compile the firmware then install it from the esphome site.

Go to the esphome dashboard then edit the device you are trying to connect to. The key will be in the yaml file.
I don't know how to get my HA to load as HTTPS

Don’t feel too bad, it’s actually way harder than it should be. The best way is to add a service to ha that will act as a https termination point and proxy the requests.
