Hi there,

So this one is worth a bump, for those that want to see how-to Home Assistant and ESP-home builder "The BASIC Version " this is the one for you
:grin::index_pointing_at_the_viewer:
For hose who want to make it MORE complicated than it really needs to be, Step back and re-review.

As you were

The point about keeping the basic version basic is fair, especially for a first sensor. ESPHome’s starter config really only needs the board type, Wi-Fi, API and OTA entries, and it will run without extra components. One thing worth adding: give the device a fixed IP or a hostname early, because once you have a few nodes in Home Assistant, finding them by name beats hunting through the router’s client list. I’d rather see newcomers get one sensor working end to end than spend the first evening adding features.
