Esphome Text Sensor Not Working, h. I prepared the sonoff basic and I I have an outdoor temperature sensor which, when looking at the ESPHome Logs seems to send its status to HA without any issue. I would like Hi there, I want to display custom text on my MAX7219 via ESPHome. I would like to get the solution about the status of light and binary-sensor in sonoff basic by ESPHOME. I have a Home Assistant Text Sensor that is (for testing) getting the state of a Shelly and it is working as expected. I have two devices with the same problem. I’ve gotten the display working They should be text_sensor See Home Assistant Sensor — ESPHome This component is only for numeral states. 7 beta, esphome text sensors show as unavailable.

The elements can be separated by a custom string, and more significant elements will be omitted if In terms of workarounds - is there a way to explicitly request the value of an attribute on a Home Assistant sensor without using a text sensor on the ESPHome embedded side? Hi everybody, I am trying to create a text_sensor (it’d be fine if it were input_number as well) that will be updated when my key_collector runs The problem It's hard to tell if this problem lies with Home Assistant or ESPHome, but given it is a single device, not all devices, I suspect ESPHome, prehaps due to being an ESP32 Trying esphome and esp8266 stuff for the first time. some time ago I made some simply sensors using a D1 mini and a DHT22 sensor, everything The problem It was working for months until the latest update.
