[logo] Binding that communicates with ESPHome flashed devices using the api protocol as an alternative to mqtt. NOTE: Ensure that the Bluetooth binding is installed on your system as well, or the binding will not start. Latest OH jars can be found here (same jar runs on both OH4 and OH5, don’t b…

This applies for the API that both this binding and HA connects to. Just think of it as there is no specific “servo” type of entity (an thus API message) available, so you need to use some other entity such as a text, number, switch, cover etc. Here is an example where I use a switch to trigger an…

Thank you DaveG you saved me quite the headache with the UOM fix. How did you fix? I was able to edit the code. But the device dosent connect anymore when i edit any code on the thing. I tried just removing the unit line and changing codes to s but it will only connect when i have it auto configur…

Thank you for the suggestions. I was able to tilt the blinds using the number component but I’m lost trying to use the cover component. The sample configurations I have reviewed are still too confusing (or complex) for me. Attached is the working esphome code using the number component. esphome:…

The binding (which I had installed via the Add-on Store) was uninstalled after the upgrade to openHAB 4.3.2. Is that normal behavior?

Sometime in or after OH4 there was a new “feature” in OH that uninstalls all marketplace bindings on upgrade, just in case they (in theory) are incompatible with the new OH version (most work just fine). Remember, you had the same problem in a previous upgrade as well: ESPHome binding for the Native…

Same here after upgrading to 4.3.1. After installing it again, all ESP’s were working again. Also in the running config, I couldn’t add a new ESP, Binding didn’t give me the option. Re-installed it again and no problems adding the new ESP.

Was there ever a way to handle the unknown unit? Can someone share with me their RATGDO ESPHome things file so i can try loading it from a file and edit the unit for that channel? I created a Things file but don’t think i did it right. Unit 'codes' unknown to openHAB, returning DecimalType for stat…

You need to update the esphome firmware to have it send a valid unit - or no unit at all. It is meant as a warning that there is a mismatch. A work around could be to set the Log level for this logger to a higher level - or to create a config parameter in the binding or thing to ignore these mismat…
