Getting Started With ESPHome: From Zero to Cool workshop

Abstract

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to ESPHome, an open-source platform for integrating ESP32 microcontrollers with home automation systems. Participants will learn the fundamentals of configuring ESPHome YAML files to control inputs and outputs, connect to Wi-Fi, enable remote access, perform over-the-air (OTA) updates, integrate with Home Assistant, and add external sensors or components. Attendees will walk away with the knowledge to create their own simple IoT solutions using ESPHome. No programming or soldering skills are required, making this workshop highly accessible to beginners and anyone curious about home automation.
