Importing ESP devices into HAOS

I’ve created a few ESPHome devices running ESPHome on a Pi. I generally edit using from my PC using VSCode with the Remote Directory extension. That way I get familiar editing and easy access to Github for my yaml source…

I want to repurpose the Pi and so I’ve installed the ESPHome addon into my homelab/Proxmox VM (built using the distributed qcow image). Is there any way I can continue to use my VSCode/Git workflow or am I limited to the simple ESPHome editor?

Also, is there any way I can bulk import my current configs into ESPHome ?

Or am I better off running ESPHome outside of Home Assistant (which I can easily do using homelab)?

If you use VSCode/Git then maybe stick with your external solution. Personally for the majority of stuff I prefer the add-on editor but I don’t have many devices and none of them are complex.

There is a VSCode add-on for HA but it’s optimised for editing HA yaml files - not ESPHome.

If you do want to copy your yaml files to the HA add-on, you fire up the File editor or SAMBA add-on and copy them to the homeassistant/esphome/ directory and restart the add-on.
