Bought the sensors but nothing works!

[hellcry37]

I know how to navigate around git or a project:

What seem to be great is the sensor:

What seem to be nonexistent is a proper documentation on what should I replace my non working config with? This is frustrating and takes the joy out of it ...

This is my non working config right after adding wifi and adopting it to esphome:

substitutions:
  name: everything-presence-lite-ee941c
  friendly_name: Living Room EPO Lite
packages:
  EverythingSmartTechnology.Everything_Presence_Lite: github://everythingsmarthome/everything-presence-lite/everything-presence-lite-ha.yaml@main
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:
  encryption:
    key: xxx


wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

Noew what should I replace this with?

EverythingSmartTechnology.Everything_Presence_Lite: github://everythingsmarthome/everything-presence-lite/everything-presence-lite-ha.yaml@main

since the are a bunch of files with no apparent explanations on what every file represents, what should I use ?

Maybe add in a readme what all files represent as example one that does fries with bluetooth, one that cook eggs without bluetooth etc ... you get my point.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you are referring to with regards to non existing documentation sorry?

There is a big QR code on the box that takes you to the step by step guide, which is here: https://everythingsmarthome.github.io/everything-presence-lite/

What you are doing above is not in the documentation. Perhaps if you can let me know what the issue with the documentation is then I can help? As I'm not clear at the moment

Also what you are referring to as a non working config is a perfectly working config. It's just a shortened version that ESPHome does automatically but it's perfectly functional. What makes you say it's non working?

[hellcry37]

For me it said it could not find everything-presence-lite-ha.yaml big red error, I assumed file name was changed and i just need to replace it with a new name.

I hope you understand now better what was the problem, I did not want to come as aggressive towards you or anyone and I apologize if I did.

I have no idea how that happen but if I remember correctly I tried to flash it via usb port. Now I tried to flash it with latest version via wifi and worked ...

[EverythingSmartHome]

Yeah but the point was, the steps you were doing were not in the documentation (because they aren't required) so I'm not sure if you didn't see the documentation? You said it was non existent

[hellcry37]

I read all that my process was like this:

• open sensor box
• read docs until it said bluetooth connect wifi, ignore the rest
• connect sensor to wifi
• adopt it in esphome
• try to update to latest version

Maybe it helps

[EverythingSmartHome]

But if you kept reading, Bluetooth is not required as described in this section right below: https://everythingsmarthome.github.io/everything-presence-lite/updating.html#manual-setup-and-factory-resetting

That section connects to WiFi and updates to the latest firmware without ESPHome, so that's why it does not describe adopting it in ESPHome.

Hope that helps, I was just trying to figure out what the issue was since it seemed like you ignored the docs but said they didn't exist?
