ESPHome 2022.4.0 has been released with MQTT supporting using IDF. This means that Home Assistant is not strictly necessary if one deploys ESPHome + MQTT for the Vue2.

@farcouet – you are late to the game. There is local ESPHome support now. Use that.

MQTT support will likely happen in the near future (<6 mo).

You mean an MQTT example right?

Because anyone can add an ESPHome MQTT client and using ESPHome automation to publish with no further work on your part.

They just need to have fun with yaml syntax!

People should checkout @flaviu’s github.  Full ESPHome support and it works great!

These seem to be very specific asks that could be accomplished using Home Assistant today (or even standalone Tasmota).

Eg. using a Shelly/Sonoff/etc to control a contactor to open/close a water heater circuit.

Hey @Emporia !!

My daily usage looks low today.

You know if you gave us local MQTT *in_addition* to your cloud analytics I could sell my data back to you when your cloud goes down!

So you know, your analytics customers could get accurate data 😉

Don’t want to break your SLA to them :))

@zeroisnothing – sorry to hear.

Looks to be back up for me now.

Since I have PRTG watching my router, ISP, then next exchange hop I know it wasn’t my internet.

Being reliant on a cloud that isn’t resilient makes for one to look for alternative solutions sadly.
