esphome support #10

Closed codegraffiti closed 5 months ago

codegraffiti commented 5 months ago

Hi, is there are any plans to add support for esphome. It can be supported using external components. This would help to create home assistant compatible sensors, relays and other nodes very easily as esphome has an easy way to build nodes.

Best regards, Chandan

Hi Chandan!

ESPHome devices use WiFi connection to HA. ESP-NOW is a completely different technology. To support it, ESPHome developers need to change the code base, develop a gateway and make changes to the HA ESPHome integration.

It takes a big team, not one small enthusiast..... :-) And ESP-NOW isn't very common, so it'll probably never happen.
