Esphomeyaml Hass.io Add-On

About

This add-on allows you to manage and program your ESP8266 and ESP32 based microcontrollers directly through Hass.io with no programming experience required. All you need to do is write YAML configuration files; the rest (over-the-air updates, compiling) is all handled by esphomeyaml.

Example

With esphomeyaml, you can go from a few lines of YAML straight to a custom-made firmware. For example, to include a DHT22. temperature and humidity sensor, you just need to include 8 lines of YAML in your configuration file:

Then just click UPLOAD and the sensor will magically appear in Home Assistant:

Installation

To install this Hass.io add-on you need to add the esphomeyaml add-on repository first:

1. Add the epshomeyaml add-ons repository to your Hass.io instance. You can do this by navigating to the "Add-on Store" tab in the Hass.io panel and then entering https://github.com/OttoWinter/esphomeyaml in the "Add new repository by URL" field.
2. Now scroll down and select the "esphomeyaml" add-on.
3. Press install to download the add-on and unpack it on your machine. This can take some time.
4. Optional: If you're using SSL certificates and want to encrypt your communication to this add-on, please enter true into the ssl field and set the fullchain and certfile options accordingly.
5. Start the add-on, check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
6. Click "OPEN WEB UI" to open the esphomeyaml dashboard. You will be asked for your Home Assistant credentials - esphomeyaml uses Hass.io's authentication system to log you in.

NOTE: Installation on RPis running in 64-bit mode is currently not possible. Please use the 32-bit variant of HassOS instead.

Configuration

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Example add-on configuration:

{
  "ssl": false,
  "certfile": "fullchain.pem",
  "keyfile": "privkey.pem"
}

Option: ssl

Enables/Disables encrypted SSL (HTTPS) connections to the web server of this add-on. Set it to true to encrypt communications, false otherwise. Please note that if you set this to true you must also specify a certfile and keyfile.

Option: certfile

The certificate file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default for Hass.io

Option: keyfile

The private key file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default for Hass.io

Option: leave_front_door_open

Adding this option to the add-on configuration allows you to disable authentication by setting it to true.
