Thanks my friend, very much appreciate it! Of course!

I just needed some entry level basics on ESPhome, and you flawlessly delivered. 👍😊

Fantastic video! So proud of myself, I have just added a buzzer via ESPHome to Home Assistant, so that if the water leak sensor under the sink gets wet it triggers the buzzer. Shouldn't wake the neighbours but should be loud and annoying enough for us to get off the sofa and investigate. I know I wouldn't have attempted this without this video. BTW, although the HA documentation says use Edge/Chrome, Safari allowed a cut-down version to be created and the rest of the installation completed by installing OTA/plugging the USB and installing into the HA hardware. Whatever I did, it worked! Absolutely delighted! Share my pride!

This is absolutely the best overview of ESPHome I've watched. Kudos! Thanks very much for this!

Thanks for doing this video. You go at a perfect pace to follow along. You've convinced me to start tinkering with ESPHome myself. With all your guidance on this and with your other Home Assistant videos I am sure it will be easy as pie.

I have an engineering background (57 yo now, doing other stuff) designing some electronics and have done programming from ASM to C++ years ago so I feel young again with this home automation stuff! Good Luck Ian! Our homes will be awesome!

Great video, I'm not that used to Home Assistant yet (referring to the nomenclature knowledge you spoke about😀), started using it 5 days ago, but you explained this very well so I could easily follow you all the way through. I will use this to build some units for checking doors at the chicken coop, rabbit cages, horse gates, dog kennel, etc. I also just build a new hen house so I'll put in a humidity and temperature sensor there as well. I've been a tech geek all my life and now I can, at last, get my smart house going for real. Decades ago I was thinking of designing my own proprietary system, but this together with Home Assistant is a breeze in comparison!

I am planning on having most of my hardware connected through Zigbee, ESPHome, some through other integrations, remote Wake On Lan for my servers, and a nice Minimalist UI dashboard. All of this will probably be running on my RPi4, but might switch to another host down the line when I will implement local voice assistant.

Nice video, and explanation. I would just say that despite programming is reduced, it might still be difficult for some people to familiarize with these boards, technical terms, even soldering or breadboards use is still required. A good topic might be as well to make a woking, aesthetic device: I have not seen too much videos of someone building something aesthetic that does not look just like a messy cabling.

Well done on an excellent video. Cheers!!!

Great video - I am trying to use a NodeMcu to serve as a hub for detecting a doorbell signal from 2 seperate intercoms (each one has 2 cables that have 3v pullup when bell is rung), and then also having 2 switches (dry contacts that will trigger gate to open). I think this should be possible? Any ideas on how to wire & configure? Thanks again

Great video as usual. Just one question that I couldn't figure out by myself. How can I send data (such as temperature) to another web server every period of time? I would like to integrate it into a previous project of logging the data (w/o using the HA) when I have another esp acting as a web server and storing the data. Thanks.

Wish I had found this earlier, great job breaking things down as usual. Any chance you can make a video explaining a bit about use of templates and lambda?

How are you able to use the serial over your web browser without accessing your HA via HTTPS? That was the first problem I ran into while trying to do this.

Really good and easy to understand tutorial! This video convinced me subscribe to your channel. I have a question: i want to use a couple of ESP32-CAM (the ones with integrated video camera on them) and they don't have a USB to FTDI converter on their PCB. I have managed to install a webserver and i was able to stream video on my browser using Arduino IDE and an Arduino Mega as the programmer, but in this case ESPHome can't connect to my ESP32 board and flash the firmware on it. What would be your advice in this case? Is there a way to flash the firmware with the use of another Arduino or should i get a USB to FTDI converter? (I have already searched the internet on how to flash ESPHome to ESP32-CAM with another Arduino, but i couldn't fine anything useful.) Cheers!

New to Home Assistant, enjoy all your videos they have helped me a lot. Is there a way to calibrate the temperature sensor? I have one thats off by 10 degrees I think it's seeing the temperature emanating from the esp32 .

The Wemos D1 need to be in the same network? There’s a way to connect, for example in another house?

Cheers and thank you for the update, once again your presentations are awesome. I am wondering, what is the smallest PCB-sized esp8266 or esp32 that you have found that can work with ESPHome.

@EverythingSmartHome

Thanks Andrew! The wemos D1 mini is pretty small, but I guess technically a bare esp01 board would be the smallest!

Just throwing it out there. Currently, I'm using ESPhome and have installed motion sensors in various locations within my home, backyard, and garage. I have three ESP8266s running smoothly under HA/ESPhome, which effectively report back whenever motion is detected. My objective is to create a central ESP8266, to which all the motion sensors can communicate. I plan to attach a circuit board with LEDs to this central ESP8266, allowing the LEDs to illuminate based on the specific location where motion was detected around the home. Possible? Don't want to use Arduino solutions as I am only running Home Assistant and ESPhome.

Good on you for keeping current with the updates. I love the miniature size and costs of these components, but how do we turn them into a practical stand-alone unit, with battery and case? Or this something for hobbyists to build more complex boards with various components?

Thanks Matt! I suppose that's the good and also bad thing about it, you can take it as far as you want to, for some projects I just leave them as bare as possible because they are hidden away (for example under a bed) and will literally never be visible, and some I design and 3D print enclosures for. But remember that ESPHome can work on products such as Shelly or Sonoff - I think that is a really nice middle ground for a "production ready" item.

@SmartLifeEnthusiast

ESPHome is _a_ firmware for ESP8266 and ESP32 (produced by Espressif), what you do with the devices is onto you and is not related to ESPHome. The boards are tiny and it's fairly easy to attach a powerbank or some batteries to them.

Here's a suggestion: Learn to make a case. Either CAD and 3D printing or literally a cardboard box you cut up or old tupperware Get an 18650 battery. Those are easily available since they are useful for a lot of applications including vaping so you can probably just go into any vape shop and pick them up. Chargers are also cheap. Get a battery holder for that. They're cheap and available in like 10 packs. Sometimes with cables. There are also charging circuits for this on amazon. You need that. DO NOT DISCHARGE THOSE BATTERIES WITHOUT SUCH A CIRCUIT. If you run them too dry they can be damaged and that always means a fire hazard with LiPo batteries. There are also buck converters that can put that voltage from the charger to 5V if you need that (ESP board run on 3.3V but some sensors might not). Wire it all together. Maybe get a soldering iron. I have one so I don't pay attention to that. Some components probably need to be soldered. Flash Done.

Hi, could you tell me how to make ESPHome send three numbers (channels) to the TV, please? I've been looking for days on this and haven't found anything. Thanks.

why you could omit the pull up resistor between data and vcc? IS it mentioned in esphome this is not needed anymore or is automatically using intern pull up on data pin?

Very nice. But don't you need some kind of board to place all components on? I see you use some kind of IoT testing kit, but in production, something else should be used?

CHOPPED!! 😎

Great video. I have just set up 14 temperature sensors around the house externally and in each room using Tasmota. hardware is D1-minis, dht11s with extended cables, USB plugs, is ESPHOME a better solution or simply an alternative approach. I was looking at ESP-NOW because the WIFI is losing connection with the outside units, that have arials (that don't seem to work very well) - but before I could try that out I saw your video. I don't really understand what the advantage of ESPHOME is vis Tasmota. Also would ESP-NOW work better as it doesn't use the WIFI and router - if so how would I pull the 14 different temperature sensors into Home Assistant. Love the videos you do thanks very much for doing them.

How can I connect my sonoff 4 channel proR3 in ESP Home. kindly advise or suggest a new tutorial video

Any option to connect esprainmaker connect to home assistant

sorry if this is a dumb question but is there a way to change the temperature measurement from Celsius to Fahrenheit ?

May be it's the strength of the 'algorithm'; I'm watching this while wearing the same MCM t-shirt. Pure coincidence? Btw, I've combined my love of cars and the usefulness of esphome to control relays to manage ignition power for an Openauto Pro install. It's also great for presence detection.

Great video, thanks - I'll definitely try that out. How is the power consumption when I create a sensor with this? I'm thinking of a battery-powered ESP8266 door sensor, which would mean a good bit of programming effort for manually writing the mqtt code, but I could also include deep sleep/timer/interrupt wakeup for period alive messages and send on event. Sounds like ESPHome would do away with most of the messaging bit, but I don't want to change batteries every 3 days, so deep sleep is kind of necessary.
