It amazes me how so many people refuse to even make an effort to find answers to their own questions and refuse to use te Docs. They know of the docs and they know how easy it is to Google a question or use tbe search box right here but, they refuse. I dont know how to make sense of this. The only logical reason i can come up with is plain laziness or they just like being clueless. Its really qute easy and much faster to use a search box when you have a question and still people put in more effort and time to start a new thread and wait for someone else to find the answer and place it into their outstretched begger hands. God help us all if these people are procreating.
Don’t forget to use the ESPHome Add-In to edit the yaml for your ESPHome devices, and then you’ll have the INSTALL button to actually compile and upload your config updates to the actual device.
I found the docs mentioned below for filters, but was stupidly using the File Editor add-in to edit the ESPHome device’s config, and then restarting HA, and wondering why it was having zero effect.
Some of us are either quite new to this stuff, or else haven’t tweaked something in such a long time that basic concepts get forgotten.
