This is a reimplementation of ESPHome project using Go language for easy integration with more powerful (embedded) systems.
Gosthome is designed to run on computers and servers as a system service (daemon).
It is roughly equivant to host ESPhome platform, but it a single binary compiled without any system dependencies.
This project is work-in-progress and in no way affiliated with Nabu Casa and ESPHome project.
- Single binary to deploy anywhere.
- Homeassistant- and ESPHome-like system of components and yaml configuration.
- Integrates with Home Assistant using ESPHome integration (uses same Native API).
- You can use it as a library to integrate in another (bigger) projects.
- Full api compatibility with ESPHome (up to native api version v1.10)
- Client library is available for external native api use as
github.com/gosthome/gosthome/components/api/client
- Client library is available for external native api use as
- Components with entity system
- Binary sensor domain
- Button domain
- psutil component, showing usage statistics on the running host
- UART component, implementing a uart button
- Demo component, similar to ESPHome's
demo:with binary sensors and a button
$ gosthome
NAME:
gosthome - Control your (embedded) systems by simple yet powerful configuration files and remotely through encrypted API
USAGE:
gosthome [global options] command [command options]
VERSION:
0.1.0
COMMANDS:
run Run a configuration
util Utilities for configuration
GLOBAL OPTIONS:
--verbose (default: false) [$VERBOSE]
--help, -h show help
--version, -v print the version
NAME:
gosthome util - Utilities for configuration
USAGE:
gosthome util command [command options]
COMMANDS:
mac Generate a local MAC address to identify node
noise Generate a Noise PSK for encryption key
hashpassword Hash your password for the config file
OPTIONS:
--help, -h show help
The configuration is done in a similar to ESPHome way - by writing yaml files.
gosthome:
# This is a name of your node - this is how it will be shown
# in your dashboard in Home Assistant
name: "test"
# mac field is used only for api communication. you can set it to
# a mac address of your device
mac: "<generate one for yourself using `gosthome util mac`>"
api:
port: 6053
encryption:
key: "<generate one for yourself using `gosthome util noise`>"
# this example assumes that you have a device you can control
# via usb-uart, connected to device running gosthome via /dev/ttyACM0
uart:
port: /dev/ttyACM0
baud_rate: 115200
# this buttons are to control your device
button:
- platform: uart
id: "f"
name: up
data: "w"
- platform: uart
name: down
data: "s"
- platform: uart
name: left
data: "d"
- platform: uart
name: right
data: "a"
- platform: uart
name: reset
data: "r"
I wanted to integrate Go language and ESPHome in one thing. ESP also stand ExtraSensory Perception, some say an ability to see ghosts. If you spell ghost a bit funny, you'll get Gost.
