# ESPHome Beta Add-On [![ESPHome logo][logo]][website] [![GitHub stars][github-stars-shield]][repository] [![Discord][discord-shield]][discord] ## About This add-on allows you to manage and program your ESP8266 and ESP32 based microcontrollers 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. <p align="center"> <img title="ESPHome dashboard screenshot" src="https://github.com/esphome/home-assistant-addon/raw/main/esphome-beta/images/screenshot.png" width="700px"></img> </p> [View the ESPHome documentation][website] ## 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: <img title="ESPHome DHT configuration example" src="https://github.com/esphome/home-assistant-addon/raw/main/esphome-beta/images/dht-example.png" width="500px"></img> Then just click UPLOAD and the sensor will magically appear in Home Assistant: <img title="ESPHome Home Assistant discovery" src="https://github.com/esphome/home-assistant-addon/raw/main/esphome-beta/images/temperature-humidity.png" width="600px"></img> [discord]: https://discord.gg/KhAMKrd [repository]: https://github.com/esphome/esphome [discord-shield]: https://img.shields.io/discord/429907082951524364.svg [github-stars-shield]: https://img.shields.io/github/stars/esphome/esphome.svg?style=social&label=Star&maxAge=2592000 [dht22]: https://beta.esphome.io/components/sensor/dht.html [releases]: https://beta.esphome.io/changelog/index.html [logo]: https://github.com/esphome/home-assistant-addon/raw/main/esphome-beta/logo.png [website]: https://beta.esphome.io/
