ESPHome configuration for SmartPusher

This is a proof of concept of a ESPHome based firmware for the SmartPusher hardware.

Features

• Display shows time, date and wifi connection status
• Home Assistant shows buttons as binary sensors
• Home Assistant shows lights as light entities (including some effects)
• Pressing buttons triggers an event (click, long_click, double_click)

Missing features:

• Sending messages to the display
• Feedback on display when pressing a button
• Fancy light animations
• Configuration via web interface
• Image upload via web interface

Get started

• Copy the file secrets.example.yaml to secrets.yaml and adjust the credentials (e.g. wifi settings)
• Adjust your device name and settings in the file SmartPusher.yaml
• Flash your SmartPusher via esphome run SmartPusher.yaml

Home Assistant

Add your new ESPHome device as new Home Assistant integration. You should see the device with 8 buttons as binary sensors, 8 LEDs as light entities and the wifi signal sensor.

The buttons also trigger the event esphome.smartpusher. It has following event data:

• device (the device name, default is "smartpusher")
• button (number of the pressed button, 1-8)
• event (click, long_click, double_click)

Example automation:

alias: SmartPusher Button 2
description: "Toggle light1 when button 2 gets double clicked"
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: esphome.smartpusher
    event_data:
      button: "2"
      event: double_click
condition: []
action:
  - service: light.toggle
    target:
      entity_id: light.light1
