Workflow
- Identify the task: new device/adopt, offline troubleshooting, or YAML feature changes.
- For HA-side validation, discover ESPHome entities and map to devices before changing names.
- For YAML changes, edit in ESPHome Device Builder (UI-first), validate, then install (USB first flash, OTA thereafter).
- When building automations from ESPHome entities, follow
home-assistant-best-practicesfor automation patterns.
HA-side discovery (common)
- Check integration state:
ha_get_integration(query="esphome") - Find entities by name or area:
ha_search_entities(query="kitchen", limit=50) - Map entity to device:
ha_get_device(entity_id="...")
