ESPHome

I'm just curious; I know ESPHome was clearly made for Home Assistant (which I do not yet use), but for anybody familiar with Home Assistant, how complicated would it be to implement and Indigo Plug-in that somehow meaningfully used information published from an ESPc chip running ESPHome? I know this is pretty niche, and further evidence of what I'll do to avoid learning how to write plug-ins

Hi

That looks interesting - and a already done solution for my analogue data monitoring using rPi. Have setup a few ESP32 for WLED as a side project and was impressed with how robust/little and cheap they were.

ESPHome
You can interface with it using MQTT

Probably the best, easiest option as a plugin would be a big deal and maybe stepping on some toes….

(although should say haven’t tried!)

I will be an alpha tester if a plug-in will pop up:)

Thanks for the response, Glenn; it looks like the EspHome firmware can be custom-built and flashed from a docker container. I suppose MQTT Shims is the best logical integration next.
