Thanks for this tutorial! I used it to integrate two old wired door sensors (part of an old alarm system) into Home Assistant. They're useful again after decades of neglect!
The LED on the Pico W is connected differently to the original Pico. It does work it just requires different code. There is a post on the RPI forums about it.
Great video! I had some picows laying around and decided to test this too! I was used a Pico-LCD-1.3 by Waveshare and patched together date, time output. The HAT has buttons so I'm chipping away at some sort of function for them maybe turn off lights or fans. I read in an update that there's the option to build functional menus in ESPhome but I haven't tried it yet. I'm curious to see what you will do next.
His can you or any viewer verify that "platform: adc" and "platform: pluse_counter" works on the pico W with esphome? Am getting error when trying to add these sensors. maybe something am missing. they work fine on esp32, d1-minin and nodemcu's TIA
My preparing download for the install has been stuck for 20 mins now. I'll let it keep trying, but I was suprised I didn't see anyone else here with similar issues.
So, I uninstalled the ESPHome (Dev) version and installed the standard ESPHome Add-On. This fixed my download issue, took maybe 3 or 4 minutes like you say when I did that.
Hello Chris, I would be curious to know what you suggest for someone that needs to buy new microcontrollers for an ESPHome project. Would you recommend going for an ESP32 or Pi Pico W ?
I would say go with ESP32 for now if you really NEED something to work... it's been around a lot longer. But for tinkering on the side, go with Pico W and see what new features the devs come up with. It should be fun
I'd go with what John W says.. ESP32 has been out there longer. Pico W might be overkill and not everything that works on the ESP32 works on the Pico...yet.
This is one of the best videos I have seen recently. Very easy to follow.i liked the way you convinced (at least me) to subscribe.

Worked first time in 2024, great video thank you.

Ahh..that makes sense. Thanks for the update.
This is very helpful thank you so much for this!

Perfect! Wondered how many Picos are out there waiting to be used.
What's the difference between using ESPHome (and read that data from my Rpi4), or hooking up a sensor straight to my Raspberry Pi 4 pins?
Will the pico W settings work if I'm using older pico with ESP-01s wifi board for the wifi?
A nice site for Esphome stuff are ESPHome Device, can't type URL here.
Thanks for the tip.

can we add R60ABD1- Respiratory Sleep Radar Sensor with pico to esphome?

Amazing videos thank you
Let’s hope they get MQTT included soon. Useless for me until they do.

Install???
On what????🤕
Install ESPHome from the add-on store in Home Assistant.
Super video!
Thanks!
Nice! Thank you.
Yw
Cool stuff! Thanks!!!°
Thanks for watching.
am I drunk or your example of temperature sensor does NOT show temperature? ;-)
I thought it did. I guess it depends on where in the video you are talking about.
@@mostlychris you are COMPLETELY right - there was a reading at around 7:00 - in the log browser - but it was - yeap, I might have been drunk then ;-)
Very cool❣
Thanks!
Seemed easier on an ESP8266. I don't remember even needing a resistor for that sensor.
for dallas senzor is resitor very recommended. if you have tasmota on esp is actived intern pull up resistor.
I've used the resistor on the other ESP boards. In fact, I watched my other video to remember how to use the dallas sensor on this one.
@@mostlychris Perhaps I was supposed to but didn't. 😂 Mine are definitely direct wired because I just checked. I have two of them on there.
You can just use the breakout garden and use a BME680 breakout on it
