    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.

    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!

    Worked first time in 2024, great video thank you.

    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.

      Ahh..that makes sense. Thanks for the update.

    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.

      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.

    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

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

    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.

    • @Bikes-with-Ben

      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 ?

    • @webcompanion
      @webcompanion 2 года назад +2

      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

    • @mostlychris
      @mostlychris  2 года назад

      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.

    Let’s hope they get MQTT included soon. Useless for me until they do.

      Install ESPHome from the add-on store in Home Assistant.

    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.

    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.

    • @mostlychris
      @mostlychris  2 года назад +1

      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.

      You can just use the breakout garden and use a BME680 breakout on it
