@Baldhor Great App, I trying to configure my MHI Airco, I have this ESP8266 installed in the unit. I can control it direct by Homey in de device 🙂 Only control it with a Flow doesn’t work, I can select capability in “and” but not in the “Then”! Anny idea why? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/0/3097e530321cd604645a229c4ed1871f292bc038.jpeg) This is the project: [GitHub - ginkage/MHI-AC-Ctrl-ESPHome: ESPHome integration for MHI-AC-Ctrl project](https://github.com/ginkage/MHI-AC-Ctrl-ESPHome) Would be great if I can control the Airco with a flow also 🙂 ---

Hi, Any plans to get esphome esp32cam module working? Right now I can add the physical devices - but can’t select a native capability. If you’re willing to implement it - what can I contribute? Or maybe someone knows a better way to get a generic mjpeg camera added to Homey? ---

Hello everyone. I am a newbie in this area and therefore need to ask some experienced people 🙂 I geek out a bit with Arduino and other boards, and have done some beginner programming, so I’m only at this beginner level. I’ve tried my hand at coding and trying to connect a NodeMCU ESP8266 to the Homey, but no luck. I either get errors in my code or I can’t connect to Homeyduino. So I’m losing the mod a bit ☹ I have tried various things. Codes from e.g. Github, but also without success. Is it necessary to connect to Homey that I have installed ESPHome and have experience with this to get things working? If there is a kind soul who will take a few minutes to help me or share a code that works to connect to Homey I would be really happy so I can take a step forward in this exciting world. Sorry if I ended up in the wrong group here on Homey Community. Sincerely, Michael ---
