Can't compile ac_dimmer component

ESPHome
1

Hi there,

I have a Kincony KC868-A6 Relaisboard with ESP32.
The board works in my HA.

Implementing a new feature I got problems with the “ac_dimmer” component.
My *.yaml looks like this:

esphome:
  name: "control-A6"

esp32:
  variant: esp32
  framework:
    type: arduino

external_components:
  - source: github://pr#5587
    components: [ ac_dimmer ]

ac_dimmer:
  - id: ssr_dimmer
    zc_pin: 
      number: GPIO13
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
    gate_pin: GPIO12
    method: leading_edge

But I always get errors:

INFO ESPHome 2026.1.3
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/control-a6_07.yaml...
WARNING GPIO15 is a strapping PIN and should only be used for I/O with care.
Attaching external pullup/down resistors to strapping pins can cause unexpected failures.

Failed config

ac_dimmer: [source /config/esphome/control-a6_07.yaml:51]
  
  Component ac_dimmer cannot be loaded via YAML (no CONFIG_SCHEMA).
  - id: ssr_dimmer
    zc_pin: 
      number: GPIO13
      mode: INPUT_PULLUP
    gate_pin: GPIO12
    method: leading_edge

Any ideas?

Thanks,
GJ

Where did you copy this yaml from, it looks to be an outdated format?

The pr you are calling was merged in oct 2023.

I would suggest you start by reading the docs as the will have up to date info.

Also, esp32 gpios from 16 to 33 are general all purpose pins. Easy to remember.
