ESPHome on production and test HA

ESPHome
1

Hi all

I would like to have ESPHome on two different HA, one for production and one for test.

I’ve installed both, flashed from the test environment, but I don’t see the entity defined in the ESPHome yaml

I don’t see them neither in the production environment.

My yaml is like this

      - switch.turn_off: relay1
      - switch.turn_off: relay2
      - switch.turn_off: relay3
      - switch.turn_off: relay4

Is there anything I should do in this situation to have it point to the correct HA?

Thanks

The ESPHome configuration does not point to Home Assistant, but you point Home Assistant to each ESPHome device, available via the “Integrations” page.

When I had only one HA (and ESPHome), I haven’t done the integration and it was working fine,

I see that in the integration is requested an host ( IP address of HA ? ) and a port, 6053.
In the ESPHome configuration there is another port, 6052, they should be like this, not the same?

After the integration part, should I do something in the yaml code of the ESP ?

Thanks!

Alright, I noticed that you have api and mqtt defined - probably HA auto-discovered the device via MQTT then.

If you use the HA integration, the connection will be established to the ESP device on port 6053 (Native API Component — ESPHome).

The host there is the ESP device’s hostname or IP address.

Sorry, I can’t find port 6052 in the configuration you posted.

When configuring the device in HA via the integration, HA immediately tried to connect, generates entities, etc. Nothing else required in the ESP device’s configuration.

So, for every device I want to use with that specific HA i have to create an integration with the IP of the device, correct? If yes, I didn’t know it and make a lot of sense.

It is in the addon page, when you install ESPHome in HA.

Now it works really fine.

Thanks

That is correct.
