ESPHome Lamda Calls Help

Configuration
1

Anyone familiar with the ESPHome Lamda Calls? I’m a little confused on how to use the one I want. I am trying to get the current position of a stepper motor and this is what it say for Lamda Call:

current_postion: Get the current postion of the stepper as an integer.
int pos = id(my_stepper).current_position;

I am not sure how to set this up in the esphome yaml, and once this is done I am guessing that it will create a senor in Homeassistant that will get me the results. Any help on the issue would be greatly appreciated, Thanks…

Edit: @OttoWinter , is it possible you can ring in on this and push me in the right direction, thanks.

Hi there,

I am also interested in this.
current_postion: Get the current postion of the stepper as an integer.
int pos = id(my_stepper).current_position;

I try to use HassIO for everything but I do not have the skills yet.
A simple example can guide us in the right direction.

Please assist.
Thank you
Kind Regards,
Louis van Dyk
