ESPHome device YAML authoring and esphome.io documentation navigation. Use when a request touches ESPHome firmware, device configuration, components (sensors, binary sensors, switches, lights, GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, BLE, OTA, native API, MQTT), automations, lambdas, substitutions, packages, external components, or HA integration of ESPHome devices. Provides a structured sitemap of esphome.io so the agent fetches the correct page directly instead of crawling, plus practical working guidance for…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# ESPHome ## When to use - Authoring or editing ESPHome device YAML (any node under `esphome:`). - Selecting components (sensors, binary sensors, switches, lights, climate, covers, displays, media players, etc.) and confirming their options. - Wiring ESPHome devices to Home Assistant (native API vs MQTT, OTA, Bluetooth Proxy, Voice Assistant, micro Wake Word). - Working with ESPHome automations, triggers, actions, conditions, lambdas, templates, substitutions, packages, or external components. - Migrating from Tasmota, or starting from a ready-made project. ## When NOT to use - Home Assistant-side integration YAML (e.g. `mqtt:` broker config, `api:` on the HA side, dashboard setup) — defer to the `ha-docs-sitemap` skill. - Reading the user's actual ESPHome device files from disk — use the `ha-config-fetch` skill (snapshots land in `ha-data/esphome/`). - Flashing/installing the ESPHome add-on itself — that's HA add-on management. ## Documentation research policy - **Source of truth**: prefer the official ESPHome docs at `esphome.io` over blogs, forum posts, or GitHub issues. Only reference other sources when the …

How to install
mdr add calexandre/homeassistant-assistant/esphome@sha256:a764783aded6956cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.d65d47e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
