Hi ,
I have home assistant installed on Docker and ESPhome installed on docker. I compiled successfully several standalone projects with Tasmota and ESPHome and i see the results of the sensors readings in MQTT and Web. I want to integrate now with ESPHome with Home Assistant and use API (both ways). I really like the synergy between both. There are several integration:
- to send sensor readings from ESPHome directly to Home Assistant using the API
- to read sensor value from Home Assistant and use it in ESPHome
- to synchronize ESPHome time from Home assistant instead NTP server
To set this I usually see the following setting:
- platform: homeassistant
Can you please help me to undestand, how to point ESPHome to the correct IP address of my Home Assistant installation. I have not seen a setting for this? Is ESPHome somehow auto-discovering Home Assistant and what will happens if I have 2 instances of HA in my subnet ?
Thanks !
