TCP to Serial bridge using ESPHome?

ESPHome
1

Hi folks, I am currently using the WifiTelnetToSerial sketch on my D1 Mini to facilitate communication between my Paradox alarm system and the PAI add-on in Home Assistant.
I would like to replace this with the same functionality, but running under ESPHome as I can remotely reboot it if needed, monitor in HA, etc while my current solution is a dumb stand-alone device. I was hoping to find official support for this in ESPHome itself, but it doesn’t seem like there is support for this. I came across various github repos for custom components.

I would like to know firstly, if this is supported in ESPHome natively (perhaps I wasn’t looking properly) and if not, what is the most reliable custom component to use for this?

Just to add, I have loaded ESPHome with the custom component - Github repo GitHub - chipsi/esphome-stream-server and it works great. This is more to find out if there isn’t anything natively supported and something with proven reliability.

Use that external component or the one I use: GitHub - oxan/esphome-stream-server: Stream server (serial-to-wifi bridge) for ESPHome

I use it with a zooz ZAC93 zwave controller. Works great.

Edit: lol, yours is a fork of the oxan project. So the same code underneath.

The forked one had a note about being able to work with later ESPHome versions. Not sure how true that is in relation to the original project or not.
But I must say, so far it is working great!
