## ESP-IDF

A huge effort has been put into reorganising, restructuring and rewriting a whole lot of code to allow ESP32 based boards to be compiled using ESP-IDF as the framework instead of Arduino. This allows ESPHome to keep up with new features and support for new ESP32 based chips that Espressif add to the ESP-IDF, such as the ESP32-C3 that a lot of people had been asking about.

There are known issues and specific components that are missing support for ESP-IDF as those ones rely on an Arduino library and need more time to be rewritten in a compatible way.

The new documentation is here at ESP32 Platform.

If you come across an issue while switching to ESP-IDF, please file an issue on GitHubExternal link using the ESP32-IDF option as the platform.

Dashboard Node Import Copy link to header

If you intend on creating and distributing devices preinstalled with ESPHome, check out Sharing ESPHome devices for more information and the best ways to give the end users the best experience.

The newest feature of this set is the importing of devices found on the network. If the device is running ESPHome 2021.10 or newer, it can be configured to broadcast a url via mDNS and the ESPHome dashboard will pick this up and prompt the user to import the device and create a minimal configuration for it.

Modbus Controller Copy link to header

Support for generic modbus device data has been added. This allows you as a user to get data and control a modbus device without a native ESPHome component. Although a native component is still better and preferred if it exists.

Text Sensor filters Copy link to header

text_sensors now have filters that allow you to do string manipulation before the value is given to the frontend. Check out the docs here.

Lighting Copy link to header

The Tuya light platform now supports RGB and HSV datapoints for those TuyaMCU based lights.

Partitions now support adding non-addressable lights into the sequence. As an example you could build a “fake” addressable light from regular rgb leds.

Graphs Copy link to header

There is new Graph building functions for displays that will allow you to draw the history of sensors over time. See the docs for examples and images on what this looks like.

wait_until Copy link to header

The wait_until action now has an optional timeout option that lets you continue or cancel (using an if action afterwards) your automations if the condition does not become true after a period of time.

Combination of MiScale 1 & 2 Copy link to header

esphome#2266 combines the two miscale platforms into one as the code was mostly the same and autodetection could be done to detemine which one you are using.

Float Output state changes Copy link to header

When using a float output with both invert and min/max values, prevously the end resut value was being calculated incorrectly. esphome#2368 fixed this.
