Setup

Requires Python 3.13+ managed by uv:

uv sync

ESPHome configs in esphome/ can be compiled and flashed using the esphome CLI.

Secrets

secrets.yaml is gitignored. Use !secret <key> references in YAML files. Never commit secrets.yaml or AWS credentials.

Git Auto-Pull

An automation watches sensor.raypappa_home_assistant_latest_commit and runs git pull on new commits, keeping the config in sync with this repo.
