[DEV Request] HomeyDuino support in ESPHome

Questions & Help
1

Not sure about you guys but the thing i’m really struggling with is the software for my custom sensors. On the one hand i’d like to use HomeyDuino so it integrates properly with Homey but on the other hand i’d like the simplicity of ESPHome..

Every time I build a sensor I try HomeyDuino but then settle for ESPHome.

It would be awesome if a developer (or enthousiast) would be able to incorporate HomeyDuino into ESPHome, maybe it’s something for Athom to even consider.

How would I see this ?
In ESPHome you would just create the homey entry and build the device basically like with the homey-homeassistant plugin
e.g. :

homey:
  livingroom_sensor:
    name: Livingroom environment
    icon: alarm_motion
    capabilities:
      measure_temperature: esp.sensor.name

Thoughts?
would you use this, is there already something like this?

I’am aware of the ESPHome Homey app, i’ve tried it as well but my devices would just randomly stop working, e.g. the ESPHome sensor would stop communicating with Homey, the communication with home Assistant keeps working fine.
