Your IoT devices, configured in YAML
ESPHome turns your ESP32 and ESP8266 boards into smart home devices controlled by simple YAML files. 100% local control, native Home Assistant integration. Installed and supervised by DINAO, hosted in France.
What is ESPHome?
ESPHome is an open-source system that transforms microcontrollers (ESP32, ESP8266 and many others) into smart home devices, configured via simple YAML files rather than C++. From this configuration, ESPHome compiles a custom firmware and flashes it to the device, first via cable and then wirelessly (OTA).
The devices operate in 100% local control, without dependency on a third-party cloud, and integrate primarily with Home Assistant via its native API, as well as with MQTT. A web dashboard (the « Device Builder ») centralizes the management of all your devices and provides access to a catalog of hundreds of components : sensors, displays, relays, etc.
Technically, ESPHome combines a C++ runtime for the firmware and Python tooling for the dashboard and compilation (via PlatformIO). DINAO hosts the dashboard in a dedicated container in France, with HTTPS, and backs up the /config folder containing your configurations, secrets, and builds.

You might be wondering…
Do I need to know how to code to use ESPHome?
No. You describe your devices in a readable YAML file; ESPHome compiles the firmware for you. No C++ programming is required.
Does my smart home data go to a cloud?
No. ESPHome operates in 100% local control and integrates with Home Assistant and MQTT without a third-party cloud. The dashboard, however, is hosted in France by DINAO.
How do I update an already installed device?
After the initial cable flash, updates are performed wirelessly (OTA) from the dashboard, without physical access to the device.
What needs to be backed up?
All configuration (YAML files, secrets, builds) resides in the /config folder. DINAO backs it up daily and restores it upon request.
Who is ESPHome for?
Smart home enthusiasts and integrators managing multiple ESP devices who want to configure them simply, locally, with native Home Assistant integration.
