I’ve been diving into the world of ESPHome lately, and it’s been an exciting journey! I recently set up an ESP32 with an ili9341 display, and while the basics worked out of the box, I ran into a curious issue. When I tried adding two text sensors to my setup, things started acting up. The codebase is over 800 lines now, and I’m wondering if there’s a limit to how much ESPHome or the API can handle. Has anyone else encountered similar challenges?
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with template sensors to track energy consumption across multiple devices. It’s been working smoothly for months, but recently, the sensors have started freezing at random times. They hold onto their last value, and the only way to get them back online is by reloading the YAML config or restarting Home Assistant. It’s puzzling because other template sensors continue to function normally during these outages. I’m curious if others have faced similar issues or have any debugging tips.
For those looking to integrate ESPHome with other systems, I’d love to hear about your experiences. Whether it’s troubleshooting sensor freezes, optimizing code for better performance, or sharing creative automation ideas, let’s keep the conversation flowing!
