|
The ``web_server`` component creates a simple web server on the node that can be accessed
|
|
through any browser and a simple `REST API`_. Please note that enabling this component
|
|
will take up *a lot* of memory and can lead to problems, especially on the ESP8266.
|
|
|
|
To navigate to the web server in your browser, either use the IP address of the node or
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.. _REST API: /web-api/index.html
