The ``version`` text sensor platform exposes the ESPHome version the firmware
was compiled against as a text sensor.

.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
text_sensor:
- platform: version
name: "ESPHome Version"
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the text sensor.
- **hide_timestamp** (*Optional*, boolean): Allows you to hide the compilation timestamp from the version string. Defaults to ``false``.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Text Sensor <config-text_sensor>`.
Disabling the compilation timestamp:
------------------------------------
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
text_sensor:
- platform: version
name: "ESPHome Version"
hide_timestamp: true
This will, for example, change the output of the sensor from:
``1.15.0-dev (Jun 8 2020, 18:53:16)`` to ``1.15.0-dev``
