Prerequisites

You're going to need the following items:

Steps

1. Install firmware on base station

Just press the install button below with your device connected via usb:

{% include install.html %}

If the serial port is not showing up, your computer might be missing the drivers for the USB serial chip used in your ESP device. These drivers work for most ESP devices:

### 2. Wifi/MQTT setup on base station

The ESP32 will launch a captive browser (under it's own SSID) on first normal boot after flashing that will allow you to configure:

  • WiFi settings
  • MQTT settings
  • Room name
  • Discovery distance

3. Configure Home Assistant

See the page on configuring Home Assistant
