# esphomeyaml for [esphomelib](https://github.com/OttoWinter/esphomelib)
|
|
|
|
### Getting Started Guide: https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/getting-started.html
|
|
|
|
### Available Components: https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/index.html
|
|
|
|
esphomeyaml is the solution for your ESP8266/ESP32 projects with Home Assistant. It allows you to create **custom firmwares** for your microcontrollers with no programming experience required. All you need to know is the YAML configuration format which is also used by Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
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](http://platformio.org/).
|
|
* Upload the binary to your ESP via Over the Air updates.
|
|
* Automatically start remote logs via MQTT.
|
|
|
|
And all of that with a single command 🎉:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
esphomeyaml configuration.yaml run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* **No programming experience required:** just edit YAML configuration
|
|
files like you're used to with Home Assistant.
|
|
* **Flexible:** Use [esphomelib](https://github.com/OttoWinter/esphomelib)'s powerful core to create custom sensors/outputs.
|
|
* **Fast and efficient:** Written in C++ and keeps memory consumption to a minimum.
|
|
* **Made for Home Assistant:** Almost all Home Assistant features are supported out of the box. Including RGB lights and many more.
|
|
* **Easy reproducible configuration:** No need to go through a long setup process for every single node. Just copy a configuration file and run a single command.
|
|
* **Smart Over The Air Updates:** esphomeyaml has OTA updates deeply integrated into the system. It even automatically enters a recovery mode if a boot loop is detected.
|
|
* **Powerful logging engine:** View colorful logs and debug issues remotely.
|
|
* **Open Source**
|
|
* For me: Makes documenting esphomelib's features a lot easier.

## Special Thanks
|
|
|
|
Special Thanks to the Home Assistant project. Lots of the code base of esphomeyaml is based off of Home Assistant, for example the loading and config validation code.
