# Home Assistant Community Add-on: ESPHome
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Search for the “ESPHome” add-on in the Supervisor add-on store.
|
||
|
|
2. Press install to download the add-on and unpack it on your machine. This can take some time.
|
||
|
|
3. Optional: If you're using SSL/TLS certificates and want to encrypt your communication to this add-on, please enter `true` into the `ssl` field and set the `fullchain` and `certfile` options accordingly.
|
||
|
|
4. Start the add-on, check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
|
||
|
|
5. Click "OPEN WEB UI" to open the ESPHome dashboard. You will be asked for your Home Assistant credentials - ESPHome uses Home Assistant's authentication system to log you in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can view the ESPHome documentation at https://esphome.io/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note**: _Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed._
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example add-on configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"ssl": false,
|
||
|
|
"certfile": "fullchain.pem",
|
||
|
|
"keyfile": "privkey.pem"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Option: `ssl`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enables or disables encrypted SSL/TLS (HTTPS) connections to the web server of this add-on.
|
||
|
|
Set it to `true` to encrypt communications, `false` otherwise.
|
||
|
|
Please note that if you set this to `true` you must also generate the key and certificate
|
||
|
|
files for encryption. For example using [Let's Encrypt](https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/lets_encrypt/)
|
||
|
|
or [Self-signed certificates](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/ecosystem/certificates/tls_self_signed_certificate/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Option: `certfile`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The certificate file to use for SSL. If this file doesn't exist, the add-on start will fail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note**: The file MUST be stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Home Assistant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Option: `keyfile`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The private key file to use for SSL. If this file doesn't exist, the add-on start will fail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note**: The file MUST be stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Home Assistant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Option: `leave_front_door_open`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Adding this option to the add-on configuration allows you to disable
|
||
|
|
authentication by setting it to `true`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Option: `relative_url`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Host the ESPHome dashboard under a relative URL, so that it can be integrated
|
||
|
|
into existing web proxies like NGINX under a relative URL. Defaults to `/`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Option: `status_use_ping`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default the dashboard uses mDNS to check if nodes are online. This does
|
||
|
|
not work across subnets unless your router supports mDNS forwarding or avahi.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setting this to `true` will make ESPHome use ICMP ping requests to get the node status. Use this if all nodes always have offline status even when they're connected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Option: `streamer_mode`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If set to `true`, this will enable streamer mode, which makes ESPHome hide all
|
||
|
|
potentially private information. So for example WiFi (B)SSIDs (which could be
|
||
|
|
used to find your location), usernames, etc. Please note that you need to use
|
||
|
|
the `!secret` tag in your YAML file to also prevent these from showing up
|
||
|
|
while editing and validating.
