ESPHome + Home Assistant

Workflow

  • Identify the task: new device/adopt, offline troubleshooting, or YAML feature changes.
  • For HA-side validation, discover ESPHome entities and map to devices before changing names.
  • For YAML changes, edit in ESPHome Device Builder (UI-first), validate, then install (USB first flash, OTA thereafter).
  • When building automations from ESPHome entities, follow home-assistant-best-practices for automation patterns.

HA-side discovery (common)

  • Check integration state: ha_get_integration(query="esphome")
  • Find entities by name or area: ha_search_entities(query="kitchen", limit=50)
  • Map entity to device: ha_get_device(entity_id="...")

Local helper (bundled)

All reference and script files are relative to the location of this SKILL.md file.

  • Generate a new base64 32-byte key:
    • Raw: python3 scripts/gen_esphome_noise_psk.py
    • YAML block: python3 scripts/gen_esphome_noise_psk.py --yaml
