This is one of the best videos I have seen recently. Very easy to follow.i liked the way you convinced (at least me) to subscribe.

The LED on the Pico W is connected differently to the original Pico. It does work it just requires different code. There is a post on the RPI forums about it.

@mostlychris Рік тому

Ahh..that makes sense. Thanks for the update.

@arnoldbencz6886 Рік тому

Super video!

Thanks!

@g0dh8r Рік тому

Cool stuff! Thanks!!!°

Thanks for watching.

@arghyl Рік тому

Great video! I had some picows laying around and decided to test this too! I was used a Pico-LCD-1.3 by Waveshare and patched together date, time output. The HAT has buttons so I'm chipping away at some sort of function for them maybe turn off lights or fans. I read in an update that there's the option to build functional menus in ESPhome but I haven't tried it yet. I'm curious to see what you will do next.

@mostlychris Рік тому

Perfect! Wondered how many Picos are out there waiting to be used.

@MrSupersidewinder Рік тому

Very cool❣

@mostlychris Рік тому

Thanks!

@FreddieMare Рік тому

Great video thanks, I have a question all my devices is based on pi pico w's but I'd like to get esp_now working on them if you can make a video on esp_now on pi pico w sure you will give grate insight, thanks again for all you share

@mostlychris Рік тому

Thanks for the idea. I'll add it to my video list.

@faizannazir5596 Рік тому

can we add R60ABD1- Respiratory Sleep Radar Sensor with pico to esphome?

@arnonaf 2 місяці тому

Will the pico W settings work if I'm using older pico with ESP-01s wifi board for the wifi?

@studiomonty 24 дні тому

What's the difference between using ESPHome (and read that data from my Rpi4), or hooking up a sensor straight to my Raspberry Pi 4 pins?

@roystervi Рік тому

His can you or any viewer verify that "platform: adc" and "platform: pluse_counter" works on the pico W with esphome? Am getting error when trying to add these sensors. maybe something am missing. they work fine on esp32, d1-minin and nodemcu's TIA

@DonParlor Рік тому

Hello Chris, I would be curious to know what you suggest for someone that needs to buy new microcontrollers for an ESPHome project. Would you recommend going for an ESP32 or Pi Pico W ?

@webcompanion Рік тому

I would say go with ESP32 for now if you really NEED something to work... it's been around a lot longer. But for tinkering on the side, go with Pico W and see what new features the devs come up with. It should be fun

@mostlychris Рік тому

I'd go with what John W says.. ESP32 has been out there longer. Pico W might be overkill and not everything that works on the ESP32 works on the Pico...yet.

@Tntdruid Рік тому

A nice site for Esphome stuff are ESPHome Device, can't type URL here.

@mostlychris Рік тому

Thanks for the tip.

@brantwinter 4 місяці тому

Let’s hope they get MQTT included soon. Useless for me until they do.

@Bikes-with-Ben Рік тому

My preparing download for the install has been stuck for 20 mins now. I'll let it keep trying, but I was suprised I didn't see anyone else here with similar issues.

@Bikes-with-Ben Рік тому

So, I uninstalled the ESPHome (Dev) version and installed the standard ESPHome Add-On. This fixed my download issue, took maybe 3 or 4 minutes like you say when I did that.

@zyghom Рік тому

am I drunk or your example of temperature sensor does NOT show temperature? ;-)

@mostlychris Рік тому

I thought it did. I guess it depends on where in the video you are talking about.

@zyghom Рік тому

@@mostlychris you are COMPLETELY right - there was a reading at around 7:00 - in the log browser - but it was - yeap, I might have been drunk then ;-)
