The ``web_server`` component creates a simple web server on the node that can be accessed
through any browser and a simple :ref:`api-rest`. Please note that enabling this component
will take up *a lot* of memory and may decrease stability, especially on ESP8266.

use ``<node_name>.local/`` (note the trailing forward slash) via mDNS.

To conserve flash size, the CSS and JS files used on the root page to show a simple user
interface are hosted by esphome.io. If you want to use your own service, use the
``css_url`` and ``js_url`` options in your configuration.

Example configurations:
-----------------------
Enabling HTTP authentication:
.. code-block:: yaml
2022-04-22 04:04:23 +02:00
# Example configuration entry
web_server:
port: 80
auth:
username: !secret web_server_username
password: !secret web_server_password
Use version 1 user interface:
.. code-block:: yaml
2022-04-22 04:04:23 +02:00
# Example configuration entry
web_server:
port: 80
version: 1
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
No internet/intranet required on the clients (all assets are inlined, compressed and served from flash):
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
.. code-block:: yaml
2022-04-22 04:04:23 +02:00
# Example configuration entry
web_server:
local: true

2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
The following assume copies of the files with local paths - which are config dependant.
Example ``web_server`` version 1 configuration with CSS and JS included from esphome-docs.
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
CSS and JS URL's are set to empty value, so no internet access is needed for this device to show it's web interface.
Force to turn off OTA function because the missing authentication.
.. code-block:: yaml
web_server:
port: 80
version: 1
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
ota: false
css_include: "../../../esphome-docs/_static/webserver-v1.min.css"
css_url: ""
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
js_include: "../../../esphome-docs/_static/webserver-v1.min.js"
js_url: ""
Example ``web_server`` version 2 configuration with JS included from a local file.
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
CSS and JS URL's are set to empty value, so no internet access is needed for this device to show it's web interface.
V2 embeds the css within the js file so is not required, however you could include your own CSS.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry v2
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
web_server:
js_include: "./v2/www.js"
js_url: ""
version: 2
2024-07-17 12:40:02 +02:00
2022-03-08 03:02:30 +01:00
Copy https://oi.esphome.io/v2/www.js to a V2 folder in your yaml folder.
