As quite the new guy to home assistant, I set up my esphome devices with the addon and HA, quite rapidly presented the discovery and setup, however, is there a difference between the integration and addon?
I am thinking of keeping the addon off, since it saves (miniscule) energy and CPU time but wanted to see if there is something I am missing here, the documentation seems a bit sparse and I am not entirely sure how independent the projects are. But after turning it off it seems to still report new data.
