Make your own smart devices with ESPHome - danimart1991’s Blog

ESPHome is a framework (software module) to control ESP8266/ESP32 modules in a very simple but powerful way and create smart devices. In the same way, it allows to modify the system of other devices that use these modules, such as for example the Sonoff family, to make them much more powerful and versatile.

Thanks for the excellent write up. I got a question regarding miflora sensors as well. I will install an ESP32 somewhere in the garden, as the miflora signal is not strong enough to be received inside the house.
Do you need to add all sensors manually to the configuration and then reflash the ESP32? Or is there a way to add them automatically?

You need to add the sensors and recompile. Then upload the new generated firmware again. You can choose to upload it using OTA to avoid connecting the ESP32 to the Raspberry Pi again.

Hi Daniel , Any ideas on thos one ? I have Beko wasing machine located in the outside garage .It can be paired with an IOS or Android device and uses an app called Homewhiz and control various functions on the washer . Pretty useless :-) It annoys me that as the garage is about 30 mtrs from the house so impossible to use bluetooth . It would be nice to have it integrated with HA but I can't think of any way to get it to work , BT extender .rPi ...esp32 ..third world problem I know but he fact that it should be simple is driving me nuts :-) BF

Hi @highway61ie.

Are you sure the connection is with Bluetooth? Has the washing machine wifi?

Hello. I have the same machine, the connection is via Bluetooth. I connected it through a smart socket and, by the amount of power consumed, I determined the actions of the machine (turning on the pump, engine, heating, draining). Based on this, you can choose the modes, and most importantly, the notification of the end of the wash :)
It would be very cool if someone could connect Homewhiz and find out the command encoding.

@neKola-ru I was thinking of the same, could you post somewhere the power levels so I can config it in my smart socket with esphome? tyvm

Hi Daniel. Is it possible to have one node-mcu talking to few flora sensors? Just wondering whether I can have few plants in a room connected to HA through one node-mcu .

Hi @wzbart.

I don't try it, but I think it's possible simply duplicating the yaml. For example:

sensor:
  - platform: xiaomi_hhccjcy01
    mac_address: '94:2B:FF:5C:91:61'
    temperature:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_01 Temperature"
    moisture:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_01 Moisture"
    illuminance:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_01 Illuminance"
    conductivity:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_01 Soil Conductivity"
    battery_level:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_01 Battery Level"
  - platform: xiaomi_hhccjcy01
    mac_address: '12:34:56:78:9A:BC'
    temperature:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_02 Temperature"
    moisture:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_02 Moisture"
    illuminance:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_02 Illuminance"
    conductivity:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_02 Soil Conductivity"
    battery_level:
      name: "Xiaomi HHCCJCY01_02 Battery Level"
