## About

This add-on allows you to write configurations and turn your microcontrollers
into smart home devices directly through Home Assistant **with no programming experience required**.
All you need to do 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:
