# ESPHome + Home Assistant

## Workflow

- Identify the task: new device/adopt, offline troubleshooting, or YAML feature changes.
- For HA-side validation, discover ESPHome entities and map to devices before changing names.
- For YAML changes, edit in ESPHome Device Builder (UI-first), validate, then install (USB first flash, OTA thereafter).
- When building automations from ESPHome entities, follow `home-assistant-best-practices` for automation patterns.

## HA-side discovery (common)

- Check integration state: `ha_get_integration(query="esphome")`
- Find entities by name or area: `ha_search_entities(query="kitchen", limit=50)`
- Map entity to device: `ha_get_device(entity_id="...")`

## Local helper (bundled)

- Generate a new base64 32-byte key:
  - Raw: `python3 scripts/gen_esphome_noise_psk.py`
  - YAML block: `python3 scripts/gen_esphome_noise_psk.py --yaml`
