Esphome Edit on PC¶
If you don’t have HA yet, you still can edit config of your boneIO ESP.
Editing Esphome without HA, just on your PC is also possible. Similar instruction is here: https://esphome.io/guides/getting_started_command_line
In your PC you’d need following software installed:
- Docker (for Windows: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/ ; for Linux see your distribution package manager)
Fetch Esphome docker image¶
Run following command in terminal:
docker pull ghcr.io/esphome/esphome
Run Esphome dashboard¶
Now let’s start Esphome dashboard.
Make directory where your config would be stored eg /home/me/esphome or in Windows C:\Users\me\esphome
Now start docker. Windows CMD
docker run --rm --privileged --network host -v "C:\Users\me\esphome":/config -it ghcr.io/esphome/esphome dashboard .
In Linux based system:
docker run --rm --privileged --network host -v "/home/me/esphome":/config -it ghcr.io/esphome/esphome dashboard .
Now in Chrome open website: http://0.0.0.0:6052/
Connect with Esphome Addon¶
Note: For this to work your home network must support mDNS. Your PC and boneIO is in same subnet (same VLAN) in most cases it’d work. boneIO has to be connected to your network and working.
