Create a Home Assistant sensor from any hardware and send measurements with ESPNow or LoRa.
This is a great solution for a send-only battery-operated Home Assistant device.
This library works in conjuction with the MQTT-Bridge project described here and here. An ESP32 device is programmed to receive ESPNow or LoRa messages, processes them and then creates an MQTT-based sensor for display in Home Assistant.
An ESP32 can be used for ESPNow messages, or any device with a LoRa radio can be used to send LoRa messages.
Only one-way messaging works, sensor-device to Home Assistant. The following types are supported.
| Home Assistant | |
