Hi all,

I've made a little library allowing me to interface a esp32 with home assistant using Peter Hinch's mqtt_as.

I have implemented switches, basic lights, lights with brightness and RGB lights. Devices are automatically registered into home assistant with mqtt discovery, allowing to create automations.

I tried to make something easy to extend, allowing to implement other kind devices. I use it to drive the lights of my fish-tanks, I plan to add temperature sensors next.

The code quality is questionable as I'm still new to python, but it works.

That is a very nice first version!

By the way: I actually created a framework over the last few years with the exact same goal, integrating devices with home-assistant using mqtt_as with mqtt autodiscovery. It is more complex and powerful than yours, so maybe you can find some inspiration or some components you can reuse (e.g. I created climate components but have no lights, etc).

Thanks, that looks way more advanced than mine, I will definitely have a look.

I'm now using pysmartnode, thanks.

I ported my code into a new ComponentBase that was pretty easy to understand.

That code looks great!
I'm glad you found the process to implement your component easy.

I'm currently waiting for my adafruit dotstar (chinese clone) and your code is a great starting point for integrating a light component properly, which I haven't done before.
