Supported Microcontrollers¶
Microcontroller Peripherals¶
Peripherals which directly support the operation of the microcontroller’s processor(s).
ESPHome Automations¶
“When this happens, I want it to do that…”
Automations are how we customize ESPHome devices to respond/behave exactly how you want them to.
ESPHome Components¶
ESPHome-specific components or components supporting ESPHome device provisioning post-installation.
ESPHome Configuration¶
Streamline your ESPHome configuration and/or use components provided by other contributors.
Network Hardware¶
Network Protocols¶
Bluetooth/BLE¶
Management and Monitoring¶
Update Installation¶
Install updates over-the-air (OTA).
Update Management¶
Create update entities simplifying management of OTA updates.
