# Esphomeyaml Hass.io Add-On [](https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/index.html) [](https://github.com/OttoWinter/esphomelib) [![GitHub Release][releases-shield]][releases] [![Discord][discord-shield]][discord] ## About This add-on allows you to manage and program your ESP8266 and ESP32 based microcontrollers directly through Hass.io **with no programming experience required**. All you need to do is write YAML configuration files; the rest (over-the-air updates, compiling) is all handled by esphomeyaml.
Then just click UPLOAD and the sensor will magically appear in Home Assistant:
## Installation
To install this Hass.io add-on you need to add the esphomeyaml add-on repository
first:
1. Add the epshomeyaml add-ons repository to your Hass.io instance. You can do this by navigating to the "Add-on Store" tab in the Hass.io panel and then entering https://github.com/OttoWinter/esphomeyaml in the "Add new repository by URL" field.
2. Now scroll down and select the "esphomeyaml" add-on.
3. Press install to download the add-on and unpack it on your machine. This can take some time.
4. Optional: If you're using SSL certificates and want to encrypt your communication to this add-on, please enter `true` into the `ssl` field and set the `fullchain` and `certfile` options accordingly.
5. Start the add-on, check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
6. Click "OPEN WEB UI" to open the esphomeyaml dashboard. You will be asked for your Home Assistant credentials - esphomeyaml uses Hass.io's authentication system to log you in.
**NOTE**: Installation on RPis running in 64-bit mode is currently not possible. Please use the 32-bit variant of HassOS instead.
You can view the esphomeyaml docs here: https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/index.html
## Configuration
**Note**: _Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed._
Example add-on configuration:
```json
{
"ssl": false,
"certfile": "fullchain.pem",
"keyfile": "privkey.pem",
"port": 6052
}
```
### Option: `port`
The port to start the dashboard server on. Default is 6052.
### Option: `ssl`
Enables/Disables encrypted SSL (HTTPS) connections to the web server of this add-on.
Set it to `true` to encrypt communications, `false` otherwise.
Please note that if you set this to `true` you must also generate the key and certificate
files for encryption. For example using [Let's Encrypt](https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/lets_encrypt/)
or [Self-signed certificates](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/ecosystem/certificates/tls_self_signed_certificate/).
### Option: `certfile`
The certificate file to use for SSL. If this file doesn't exist, the add-on start will fail.
**Note**: The file MUST be stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Hass.io
### Option: `keyfile`
The private key file to use for SSL. If this file doesn't exist, the add-on start will fail.
**Note**: The file MUST be stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Hass.io
### Option: `leave_front_door_open`
Adding this option to the add-on configuration allows you to disable
authentication by setting it to `true`.
### Option: `esphomeyaml_version`
Manually override which esphomeyaml version to use in the addon.
For example to install the latest development version, use `"esphomeyaml_version": "dev"`,
or for version 1.10.0: `"esphomeyaml_version": "v1.10.0""`.
Please note that this does not always work and is only meant for testing, usually the
esphomeyaml add-on and dashboard version must match to guarantee a working system.
