Home Assistant and ESPHome

Hey all. Just curious if anybody else is running Home Assistant in their home lab. Over the weekend, I installed ESPHome on an ESP32 board.

One gotcha to keep an eye out for is that some of the functionality of ESPHome won't work (without some hoop-jumping) if you are running Home Assistant in Docker or in an LXC Container. I've had HA Core running in LXC for most of this year. I will likely be backing up the config and moving it to a full VM so I can get access to the extra features.

Just wanted to share the rabbit-hole I found myself down over the weekend.

Have a Happy Monday!
