[BUG] Example.yaml won't compile

[alexisml]

Describe the bug I'm getting the following error:

  File "/config/.esphome/external_components/d1d49d2c/components/xiaomi_bslamp2/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from esphome.components.i2c import I2CComponent, I2CDevice
ImportError: cannot import name 'I2CComponent' from 'esphome.components.i2c' (/esphome/esphome/components/i2c/__init__.py)
ERROR Unable to import component xiaomi_bslamp2.text_sensor:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download latest ESPHome
2. Copy exaple.yaml content
3. Create new device in ESPHome and paste
4. Try to compile

Expected behavior That it compiles :)

Additional context Using latest ESPHome: v2023.3.2 https://hub.docker.com/r/esphome/esphome

I'm now using this one and it works: https://github.com/mmakaay/esphome-xiaomi_bslamp2/blob/8f0f2ac290b6257a83ff19409764449cbe2dcf70/example.yaml However, the one in the repo doesn't: https://github.com/mmakaay/esphome-xiaomi_bslamp2/blob/dev/example.yaml

[mmakaay]

Fun fact: the two example.yaml files that you references are actually the same. So based on that, it cannot be explained why things started working for you.

[mmakaay]

As I understand you got things to compile, and it's a bit unclear what happened exactly. Possibly, you ran into the issues as reported in #116, for which a fix has been released. I'll close this ticket, assuming that there are no remaining issues for you.

Fair enough, I actually couldn't find the root cause either :/

I think I found the root cause. The example.yaml on the main branch. https://github.com/mmakaay/esphome-xiaomi_bslamp2/blob/main/example.yaml.

The dev branch is the default branch on github, but the ESPHome site for the device links to the main branch docs.

I got into the repo by first looking at google, then finding the ESPHome site which guided me to the main branch docs.
