2024.5.0

pip

# Enable logging

  use_address: 192.168.0.155

http_request:
  useragent: esphome/device
  timeout: 5s

interval:
  - interval: 10s
    then:
    - http_request.get:
        url: http://192.168.0.70
        on_response:
            then:
                - lambda: !lambda |-
                    ESP_LOGD("custom", "70: %i", status_code);                      

  - interval: 1s                    
    then:
        - lambda: !lambda |-
            ESP_LOGD("custom", "ALIVE");
