Installation

Use the esp32-dc-meter-example.yaml as proof of concept:

# Install esphome
pip3 install esphome

# Clone this external component
git clone https://github.com/syssi/esphome-atorch-dl24.git
cd esphome-atorch-dl24

# Create a secret.yaml containing some setup specific secrets
cat > secrets.yaml <<EOF
mqtt_host: MY_MQTT_HOST
mqtt_username: MY_MQTT_USERNAME
mqtt_password: MY_MQTT_PASSWORD

wifi_ssid: MY_WIFI_SSID
wifi_password: MY_WIFI_PASSWORD

dl24_mac_address: MY_DL24_MAC_ADDRESS
EOF

# Validate the configuration, create a binary, upload it, and start logs
esphome run esp32-dc-meter-example.yaml
