I often write a bunch of Esphome ‘code’ , which I then use with various esp32 based devices (mostly from M5stack) via esphome/HomeAssistant.

Can this project help me in any way during dev stage before uploading the code to device just to see it doesn’t work ? Eg could I use this to somehow compile&run those esphome yamls via this emulator?

That’s a really interesting use case. I’m currently evaluating integrating the ESPHome compiler into the project, so it could potentially compile and run ESPHome YAMLs during the development stage

It’s still exploratory, but it could definitely go in that direction

That would be awesome! ESPHome is the easiest way to integrate custom devices into your HomeAssistant with online updates, logs, and other functionality. Nothing else comes close.

Nice. Yeah definitely do consider it, esphome is quite popular with people using HomeAssistant

Yeah, definitely, ESPHome fits really well with what I’m building. I’m currently going through the docs to see how to integrate it properly
