What is esphomelib?
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Esphomelib is a framework for creating custom firmwares for your WiFi-enabled
|
|
ESP microcontrollers. Its primary focus is making the process to get your ESP
|
|
running as simple as possible, with many helper tools to ensure you will have the
|
|
best user experience.
|
|
|
|
Esphomelib is split up into two main parts: esphomelib, the C++ framework backing the entire
|
|
framework, and esphomeyaml, a tool that automatically creates firmwares for you just
|
|
from simple configuration files - so **no programming experience required**!

|
|
|
|
esphomeyaml will:
|
|
|
|
* Read your configuration file and warn you about potential errors (like using the invalid pins.)
|
|
* Create a custom C++ sketch file for you using esphomeyaml's powerful C++ generation engine.
|
|
* Compile the sketch file for you using `platformio <https://platformio.org/>`__.
|
|
* Upload the binary to your ESP via Over the Air updates.
|
|
* If you're using `Home Assistant <https://www.home-assistant.io/>`__, esphomelib
|
|
will automatically add all components to the home assistant UI.
