Beginner's Guide to ESPHome ESP8266, ESP32, Beken Devices and more

Hello, I'm in the taming phase of Home Assistant. I've enjoyed following the instructions to the letter, so I've learnt a lot and it's helping me to become more and more at ease with the mysteries and power of Home Assistant. Thank you so much!

Your videos have saved my rear-end so many times. A lot of the others just read through the docs and "blah, blah, blah" you do death, but you actually tell what you're doing (or not doing!) and why. Thank you very much.

Great video Travis. Very helpful for those just getting into ESPHome, as well as an updated refresh for us that have used it in the past. 🙂

Amazing style of explaining fairly complex things very practical and simple. Following your tutorial I was able to setup a whole Home Assistent+ESPHome system in an hour. Now the fun starts!

Great Great Great tutorial, Travis. The only which can walk a newcomer through to understand the basics. Thanks !!!!

Good stuff Travis. Thanks.

Great intro, I've got a couple of esp32's and an esp8266 floating around and I've been holding off learning ESPHome until I had some projects to build. This was exactly what I needed.

This is a great video for getting started with ESPHome. I'd like to see more like this.

THANKS !!! love it. It helps me go further.

Thanks for sharing this great tutorial mate!

I LOVE U, THANKSSSSSSSSSSS. U RE THE ONLY ONE THAT HELPS ME WITH A PROBLEM

Please use a resistor with your LED!

Thank you so much! I was thinking about making my own wifi button to turn off all the smart lights in my house and this was a perfect starting point.

Great video Travis, always good to show the basics as Home Assistant is constantly evolving.. great for new beginners.

Great Travis! Thank you for this as it is exactly what I needed. Are you going to continue with these tutorials expanding on ESPHome? It would be much appreciated!

Thanks for a great tutorial. I have been playing with EPSHome for some time now. I did a new style project a couple of months back. I added LED strip lighting to my IKEA cabinets. My first project that required to use switches and not just sensors. Did some reading and looked at the example to figure it out. Even got a default LED brightness level coded. Having the transition feature for lights is great. When I get time, I want to add code for a rotary encoder so I can change the brightness level and a few more things and have it shown on the OLED screen I have added as well. I have seen some example code for multiple pages for display stuff and it make my last two working brain cells hurt.

Well done !! . I enjoyed the video.

this video taught me a lot, thank you very much

Nice Job!

As a Tasmota addict I avoided ESPHome for years. I also hated the HA guys for a while when they took it on board.... But a while ago I got stuck with an HVAC-application and successfully went the ESPHome route. Your video helps me to better understand the system. Thanks!
