    This is one of the best videos I have seen recently. Very easy to follow.i liked the way you convinced (at least me) to subscribe.
  • @Dusty_Ham
    This is very helpful thank you so much for this!
  • The LED on the Pico W is connected differently to the original Pico. It does work it just requires different code. There is a post on the RPI forums about it.

    Great video! I had some picows laying around and decided to test this too! I was used a Pico-LCD-1.3 by Waveshare and patched together date, time output. The HAT has buttons so I'm chipping away at some sort of function for them maybe turn off lights or fans. I read in an update that there's the option to build functional menus in ESPhome but I haven't tried it yet. I'm curious to see what you will do next.
  • can we add R60ABD1- Respiratory Sleep Radar Sensor with pico to esphome?
  • @arnonaf
    Will the pico W settings work if I'm using older pico with ESP-01s wifi board for the wifi?
  • @studiomonty
    What's the difference between using ESPHome (and read that data from my Rpi4), or hooking up a sensor straight to my Raspberry Pi 4 pins?
  • @FreddieMare
    Great video thanks, I have a question all my devices is based on pi pico w's but I'd like to get esp_now working on them if you can make a video on esp_now on pi pico w sure you will give grate insight, thanks again for all you share
  • @roystervi
    His can you or any viewer verify that "platform: adc" and "platform: pluse_counter" works on the pico W with esphome? Am getting error when trying to add these sensors. maybe something am missing. they work fine on esp32, d1-minin and nodemcu's TIA
  • @DonParlor
    Hello Chris, I would be curious to know what you suggest for someone that needs to buy new microcontrollers for an ESPHome project. Would you recommend going for an ESP32 or Pi Pico W ?
  • @Tntdruid
    A nice site for Esphome stuff are ESPHome Device, can't type URL here.
  • @brantwinter
    Let’s hope they get MQTT included soon. Useless for me until they do.
  • My preparing download for the install has been stuck for 20 mins now. I'll let it keep trying, but I was suprised I didn't see anyone else here with similar issues.
  • @jmr
    Seemed easier on an ESP8266. I don't remember even needing a resistor for that sensor.
  • @zyghom
    am I drunk or your example of temperature sensor does NOT show temperature? ;-)
