I have run out of GPIOs on my ESP32 and am using a PCF8574 for some additional output and inputs.

I also need to be able to expose some binary_sensors to HA that aren’t associated with inputs or outputs. A bit like an input_boolean in HA.

Is there a way to do this without adding another PCF8574 and then not using the pins?

I guess I’m simply asking if there is an input_boolean equivalent in ESPHome that can be configured and exposed to HA.

Hope that makes sense.

Sorry for putting this question. As i have already found many threads on this topic but could not solve it. Completely new to HA.

Newly installed Hassio in Raspberry pi 3B+ board, installed ESPHome as per the guide. Tried to compile the new node created but getting connection error for api.platformio.org.

[API] ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host=‘api.platformio.org’, port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /v2/lib/search?query=name%3A%22ESPAsyncTCP-esphome%22 (Caused by NewConnectionError(’<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x75b91f90>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution’,)) (incremented retry: max=5, total=1)

Hello, I change my irrigation system from tasmota to esphome, in tasmota I set the PulseTime, just for safety.
Now with esphome I don’t have this possibility?
already appen the irrigation was on all night, just because I update the HA, and the automation was running!
I need to put on the code the security in case of fails in HA, Raspberry or Wifi.

This is the code I have now, but it does not work at 100%, since the delay does not reset if I stop and start again the irrigation cicle!

switch:
  - platform: gpio
    id: pin0
    name: "PCF8574 Pin #0"
    pin:
      pcf8574: pcf8574_hub

    on_turn_on:
    - delay: 10s # or whatever max on time you want
    - switch.turn_off: pin0

Thanks

Hi, is it possible to detect the ring and the number of the caller with the integration in ESPHome? I can see the ring with the number in the debug log, but I don’t know if it’s possible to trigger an action with it,
it would be probably enough if I could somehow get the log messages to HA.
Also an RSSI sensor would be nice to show a warning in HA in case the signal gets lost.

Hello there!

I got several WiFi enabled wall switches i flashed with ESPHome via Tuya-Convert and try to replace built-in switches for the motorized skylights in my flat.

Basically it’s dependant on the cover component. So far so good. I got most of the parts working, but right now i am stuck on the position control. The cover.control allows to call a position to be set. It looks to be an absolute value, but i would like to be able to set a relative position with every button click and can’t wrap my mind about it.

Here is a snippet of code:

cover:
  - platform: time_based
    name: "${devicename} Dachluke"
    id: dachluke
    device_class: window
    open_action:
      - switch.turn_on: relay_1
    open_duration: 10s

    close_action:
      - switch.turn_on: relay_2
    close_duration: 10s

    stop_action:
      - switch.turn_off: relay_1
      - switch.turn_off: relay_2

# my button to be pressed
binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: 
      number: 4
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
      inverted: True
    id: button_left
    on_multi_click:
    - timing:
        - ON for at most 0.7s
        - OFF for at least 0.5s
      then:
        - cover.control:
            id: dachluke
            position: 25%

Maybe an experienced mind has an idea how to wrap this up with lambdas or so, that would be awesome! =)

Hello all,

I am attempting my first automation: a plan watering system using a small submersible pump, a relay, an ESP32 WEMOS LOLIN32 (I think it is called this way) and a water level sensor (when the water is above the sensor it stays horizontal and when it goes below it tilts and breaks a connection).

I have managed using the following yaml configuration loaded on the ESP32 to create a switch that when I trigger it manually, stays open for a number of seconds and then turns itself off if the binary sensor is off and it will only turn on for a very short amount of time if the sensor is on:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: 
      number: 21
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
    name: "Level Sensor"
    id: lvldn

switch:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: 26
    name: "Pump Switch"
    id: ps
    on_turn_on:
      then:
        if:
            condition:
              binary_sensor.is_on: lvldn
            then:
              - switch.turn_on: ps
              - delay: 500ms
              - switch.turn_off: ps
            else:
                if:
                  condition:
                    binary_sensor.is_off: lvldn
                  then:
                    - switch.turn_on: ps
                    - delay: 10s
                    - switch.turn_off: ps

What I would like to do from here is the following:

1. is there a way to avoid turning on the pump for a short while when the sensor state is on?

2. instead of manually turning on the pump like I do now for testing I would like to have the pump turn on once in the morning (say at 6 am) for 10 mins and once in the evening at 8 pm (for 10 mins) every day and only if the water level sensor is in the off position. If the sensor is on the ideally I would like the pump to not turn on at all (I place the water level sensor in the tank so that the pump will not run on empty but it is better to not turn it on at all if possible) and maybe send me a notification somehow through the HA interface.

Can anyone help a complete beginner with automations?

Cheers,

Lucian

Hello,

I am planning to have an RV setup with home assistant. Basic functions should run without the rPi running. I have planned to use ESPHome and a NodeMCU for those basic functions. Turning on the water pump and some lights. I have small switches and some relais connected to the ESP. Works like a charm. When the rPi is on he connects via MQTT to home assistant.

Now I want the ESPHome to run even without Wifi being present. I would like to be able to save as much power (Turn the router off) and still being able to turn the light on/off.

When connected to Wifi everything works like a charm. When I turn the router off I see the ESP trying to connect to wifi constantly. And the application on the ESP seems not to work any longer.

This is the Wifi section I have.

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid_emil
  password: !secret wifi_password_emil
  fast_connect: false
  ap:
    ssid: !secret wifi_fallback_ssid
    password: !secret wifi_fallback_password
  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 192.168.1.205
    gateway: 192.168.1.1
    subnet: 192.168.1.1
    dns1: 8.8.8.8
    dns2: 4.4.4.4
  reboot_timeout: 0s

When I turn Wifi completely off in the ESP.yaml the application works smooth again.

I resetting the Wifi causing the trouble? Can I prevent this from happening?

Can someone point me into the right direction?

Regards
Ralf

I really like being able to build stuff with ESPHome and esp8266 devices. Now that DarkSky was bought by Apple, I need to look at building a weather station so I can collect my own data. However, one of the most valuable pieces of data that DarkSky gives me is a visibility value, the number of miles you can see or how clear the day is. It varies a lot in my area because of fog. I’m wondering if there’s some way to use sensors with an esp8266 to gather this data automatically.

Anyone know?

I want to flash a device with ESPhome, but it is not for me and I don’t know the wifi name and pw.
Is there a way to flash without wifi data and the receiving person can connect to an AP and enter the wifi data into a web page? (provisioning)

I need to be able to set the hours and minutes in and ESPHome on-time automation from HA.

When I try this…

sensor:

  - platform: homeassistant
    name: "Heating on time 1 hours"
    entity_id: sensor.heating_on_time_1_hours
    id: heating_on_time_hours

  - platform: homeassistant
    name: "Heating on time 1 minutes"
    entity_id: sensor.heating_on_time_1_minutes
    id: heating_on_time_minutes

time:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: homeassistant_time
    # timezone: Europe//London
    on_time:
      - minutes: !lambda 'return id(heating_on_time_1_minutes).state;'
        hours: !lambda 'return id(heating_on_time_1_hours).state;'
        then:
          - switch.turn_on: boiler

…I get a validation error:

  on_time: 
    - [source /config/esphome/heating_controller.yaml:171]
      
      This option is not templatable!.
      minutes: !lambda |-
        return id(heating_on_time_1_minutes).state; [source /config/esphome/heating_controller.yaml:171]

Is there a way to do this?

I’d like to keep the automation solely on the ESPHome device rather than control it from HA.

Additionally, I still can’t get my ESPHome time to be the same as HA. It’s one hour behind.

Any ideas?

I’m using a cheap resistive soil hygrometer from ebay with my esp32 currently. I’m trying to “port” the code that i’m using over. Can someone help please.

// Read Soil Moisture
    float asoilmoist=analogRead(32);                                                              // Replace 32 with pin you are using
    float asoilmoist1;
    asoilmoist=0.95*asoilmoist+0.05*analogRead(32);                                               // Replace 32 with pin you are using
    asoilmoist1=map(asoilmoist,0,2400,0,100);
