5 reasons I use ESPHome for my smart home devices
Juggling all those tiny microcontrollers doesn't have to be a chore thanks to this open-source project
ESPHome has become one of my favorite tools for managing smart home devices. It gives me the ability to configure, update, and troubleshoot sensors and microcontrollers without needing to write firmware by hand. Once I saw how easily it integrates with Home Assistant and how much control it gives me, it became my go-to choice for nearly every ESP32 or ESP8266 project. Whether I'm deploying a temperature sensor or a complex multi-relay controller, ESPHome simplifies the process in ways that still surprise me.
