## 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.

|
## 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:

|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To install this Home Assistant add-on you need to add the ESPHome add-on repository
|
|
first:
|
|
|
|
1. Add the ESPHome add-ons repository to your Home Assistant instance. You can do this by navigating to the "Add-on store" tab in the Supervisor panel and then entering https://github.com/esphome/hassio in the "Add repository" field after selecting "Repositories" from the top-right menu.
|
|
2. Now scroll down and select the "ESPHome" add-on.
|
|
3. Press install to download the add-on and unpack it on your machine. This can take some time.
|
|
4. 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.
|
|
5. Start the add-on, check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
|
|
6. 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.

## 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: `esphome_version`
|
|
|
|
Manually override which ESPHome version to use in the add-on.
|
|
For example to install the latest development version, use `"esphome_version": "dev"`,
|
|
or for version 1.14.0: `"esphome_version": "v1.14.0""`.
|
|
|
|
Please note that this does not always work and is only meant for testing, usually the
|
|
ESPHome add-on and dashboard version must match to guarantee a working system.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
