Most of the time new wersion introduce new bugs so please if you are using working wersion keep using it untill some stable release come pout :)

HA_Desktop_Companion

Why did I make this app ?

Cause I don't like existing implementations using MQTT and I took inspiration from awesome ESPhome and its native communication protocol to HA and implemented it my own way :)

Feel free to contribute any time :)

Future plans:

• Simple configuration of sensors in YAML
• Improved debug mode
• Encryption
