ESPHome is an open-source platform for programming ESP8266 and ESP32 devices using simple YAML configuration. It integrates seamlessly with Home Assistant and enables powerful, local-first smart home automation.
This repository provides a collection of external components that extend ESPHome beyond its core capabilities.
- 🧩 Support devices not readily available upstream
- 🧪 Enable advanced or experimental features
- ⚙️ Provide deeper hardware and protocol integrations
All components are designed to be easily included using ESPHome’s [external_component](https://esphome.io/components/external_components) feature.
Copy/paste the following into your project's YAML, then follow the individual modules' instructions.
external_components:
