CH422G

BMP280 SPI

LTR501 & LTR301 & LTR558

UDP & StatsD Components

This release brings two new data driven components to ESPHome.

The first is the UDP Component which allows direct communication between ESPHome devices over the local network. To start off, only sensor and binary sensor data can be transmitted, and hopefully more entity types will be supported in the future.

Next is the StatsD Component which allows you to send sensor data directly to a statsd server for monitoring.

Breaking Changes

There are a few breaking changes this release that will require changes in YAML if you are using the affected components. Please make sure to check the list below for details about each one. The documentation is always the best place to find the most up-to-date information on configuration for any given component found in ESPHome.

Thank you for your support

Did you know that Jesse and Keith both are employed at Nabu Casa External link to work full-time on ESPHome? Yep, that’s possible thanks to everyone who subscribes to Home Assistant Cloud. Thank you!
