Hi. Found your faac gate esp32 diy. Got it working but would like to add the last script and I am having a hard time 😀 Is it possible to add some info on how you implemented it in esphome please? I am using the last update of esphome and I have several errors when I add the code to the yaml. The scrip component on esphome documentation seems to work differently. Thanks.

Hi :) Do not hesitate to reach out using the mail form on the website, i do read those :D You can also comment under the gist provided :

Now, You are talking about script. There is a couple of lambda, but i don't use script in the esphome code. The gist with script is for home assistant and not esphome. It's a packages file you should just have to copy and paste in your packages folder inside home assistant.

It add extra logic without making the esphome side more complex.

I no-longer use packages, even if very practical, because the home assistant team is deprecating all manual Yaml config for GUI based editing.

So i would recommend that you manually rewrite the script inside home assistant script editor, and use this doc to create the template cover entity in your configuration.yaml

Does this make sens to you ?

Thanks for the quick reply.I was trying to add the gist to the esphome device yaml !! I am new to esphome and homeassistant so learning my way slowly. The kit is working with the intial code you posted. If you can help with adding the gist into the esphome device yaml that would be great. But I’m happy with the kit though. Did you update your yaml or are you still using the script? If you updated the yaml do you mind sharing it?

Thanks a lot

I am quite confuse, sorry ...

The kit is working with the intial code you posted

Yet you didn't put the code in the esp ? I have no idea how to guide you, because it depend on so many thing like what gate controller are you working with and how did you interface with it... and what's the wiring from that to you esp, what pin number ...

You need to create a new esphome project, and then add the section from this link, changing what doesn't match your installation.
