This integration allows [ESPHome](https://esphome.io) devices to connect directly to Home Assistant with the [native ESPHome API](https://esphome.io/components/api.html).

## Configuration

An ESPHome device can be set up via the **Integrations** menu: **Configuration** > **Integrations**:

* Click the orange `+` on the lower-right of the screen and select **ESPHome**

* Complete the dialog box and click `SUBMIT`. 
    * **Host**: If the device is called `livingroom` in ESPHome, the hostname would be `livingroom.local`
    * **Port**: The default port is `6053`
    * If the node has a password set, Home Assistant prompt for it.
