An Arduino framework for ESP8266 and ESP32 that implements the Homie MQTT convention for IoT devices. It provides configuration, OTA updates, and standardized MQTT-based device communication for home automation.
Use cases
- build ESP8266 or ESP32 IoT devices that publish over MQTT
- implement the Homie convention for home automation sensors and actuators
- flash firmware with OTA updates to ESP-based devices
- integrate DIY devices with MQTT-based smart home controllers
- configure ESP devices over a web interface or JSON config
When to choose
- you are building Arduino-based firmware for ESP8266/ESP32 devices
- you want a standardized MQTT convention so devices work with any Homie-compatible controller
- you need built-in device configuration and OTA update support
When to avoid
- you need a generic MQTT client without the Homie convention
- your hardware is not ESP8266 or ESP32
- you use a different IoT protocol such as CoAP or HTTP
