Seeed Studio - ESP8266 / ESP32 - What is ESPHome?
Here is great news for you! Seeed announced a New Grove Module Libraries Co-Create campaign! We are going to discuss this campaign in detail. To better support the smart home community, Seeed invited engineers to join us to co-create new Grove Module Libraries to work with ESPHome and Home Assistant to promote the ecological construction of ESPHome together. Moreover, Seed have a number of Grove starter kits/devices up for grabs.
What is ESPHome?
ESPHome is a tool which aims to make managing your ESP boards as simple as possible. It reads in a YAML configuration file and creates custom firmware which it installs on your ESP device. Devices or sensors added in ESPHome’s configuration will automatically show up in Home Assistant’s UI. In simple words we can say that “ESPHome is a system to control your ESP8266/ESP32 by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation systems.”
