I agree with the last point, so I usually end up delegating any sort of logic handling to my automations. ESPHome will just report the state of sensors, my code figures out what to do with them.
- michaelmior 4y agoThat's understandable although of course doing things in YAML in ESPHome has the advantage that it will continue to work if HA is unavailable for some reason.
- darknavi 4y agoI _really_ like that you can do light automations easily with ESPHome as well. For my cat feeder, it has some cron-like scheduling to go off ever so often and I do not want my cats to starve if my Home Assistant VM is down.
- godsfshrmn 4y agoI prefer the same but still for important uses I'll write native code to serve as a back up - e.g sprinkler auto shut off after x minutes
