Hi got it working now. Thanks for all your help.

You're welcome Glad it's working. Enjoy making stuffs with it 😄

It was a very informative video. I am new to home automation and I hoped this video would show me how to see my camera in HA. If you would be so0 kind and show us the integration or how do we see what our camera sees on the HA.

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Check my channel for a video on ESP32 Cam with Home Assistant..

Hi you have help me out a lot with this Video. Great Video thanks.

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Thank you very much. Glad I could help. 🙂

[@STMONDEO1]

@@SmartHomeCircle Can you tell me if this works with ESP8266.

[@SmartHomeCircle]

@@STMONDEO1 yes . This works for 8266. Only while creating a device in ESPHome, create it with ESP8266.

[@peterneale298]

Do i change this to my WiFi & Password.

[@michaelthompson657]

Don’t know if I missed it but you didn’t explain what you used the web server on port 80 for?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

I used it to show how you can access the device via browser to show the various option that are available in the device

@@SmartHomeCircle thanks I’ll take another look 👍🏻

I have the ESP-WROOM-32 ESP32 ESP-32D Development Board with 2.4GHz Dual-Mode WiFi + Bluetooth. I want to know how to retain both the Bluetooth proxy and WiFi functionalities. When I follow the installation method demonstrated in your video, it seems to prepare the board for first-time use. Will this method erase the Bluetooth proxy, install only WiFi, or allow me to maintain both Bluetooth and WiFi simultaneously?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

So this method shows a simple setup and connection to HA. It depends on what do you need the bluetooth? If you are trying to create a bluetooth proxy, you check my other video in my channel, where I have shown how to connect a bluetooth Xiaomi Temp & humidity sensor using a bluetooth proxy.

[@tusharsalvi2240]

Hello sir mujhe docker compose ke baare me please bataiye woh part samjh nhi aa rha hai

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Docker compose is another way of running esphome. If you are not sure about docker compose you can use the home assistant addon to run esphome.

[@SuperKnightwind]

do i really need to connect the esp to the main server to connect the esp8266?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

If you are flashing it for the first time then yes. You will have to connect to any laptop or computer on which you can open web.esphome.io .

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Once it's already flashed you can then do it wirelessly using the wireless option in your ESPHome device config.

[@peterneale298]

Hi, i am having trouble with trying to set the Network. In your video you show a box were you have to put your Network details in. I dont see that on mine.

[@SmartHomeCircle]

If that option does not show up, means it got set up somehow. But you can check the correct information is set. For this click on the "secrets" option on the top right corner in ESPHome view. There you can change the wifi ssid and wifi password.

[@STMONDEO1]

@@SmartHomeCircle Do i put my wifi & password in this.

[@STMONDEO1]

@@SmartHomeCircle I can setup the first part of the video (Wifi). No problem.

[@SmartHomeCircle]

@@STMONDEO1 if you set it up initially, you dont need to change it in the secrets. But you can always check if your wifi credentials are correct or not in the secrets section.

[@STMONDEO1]

In the secrets it dose not show my wifi credentials.

I am using HA since 3 years now and from up-date to up-date it became more and more un funktional and more and more complicated so that all my ESP installations do not work anymore and I don’t get them back to Funktion. The Software became a pain in the …….

Hi I installed ESPhome as docker container, it was working fine in the beginning, but now I am tried to open the esphome server using the port 6052 now its saying refused to connect but the device is detected and I can see all the sensor values in Homeassistant but I am trying to add some more sensors but I am not able to open its saying refused to connect.. Can you help me in this..

[@SmartHomeCircle]

ESPHome is not connected to Home assistant. Its only a way to prepare your devices. If you are getting connection refused then it may be your docker container is not running.. try restarting the docker container again..

[@naveenkumar-dc4zy]

@@SmartHomeCircle Done everything restarting the container and restarting the docker itself, but still same problem😥

@@naveenkumar-dc4zy can you check the docker container logs?
