## About
This add-on allows you to manage and program your ESP8266 and ESP32 based microcontrollers
2020-06-09 07:55:20 +02:00
directly through Home Assistant **with no programming experience required** . All you need to do
2019-04-24 17:09:50 +02:00
is write YAML configuration files; the rest (over-the-air updates, compiling) is all
handled by ESPHome.

## Example
With ESPHome, you can go from a few lines of YAML straight to a custom-made
firmware. For example, to include a [DHT22][dht22].
temperature and humidity sensor, you just need to include 8 lines of YAML
in your configuration file:

Then just click UPLOAD and the sensor will magically appear in Home Assistant:
