      TL;DR Anyone know of a way for MM to display data from an ESPHome device?

      For a while now I’ve been using esp32and esp8266 microcontrollers to send household sensor data to my MM (for example https://github.com/balassy/MMM-RemoteTemperature), programing them with Arduino.

      I also have a Home Assistant server, and so little by little I’ve been programing more of my household sensors with ESPHome, as it’s a lot quicker and easier, and the sensor data can also be used to trigger automations.

      But still find my MM useful for at-a-glance info and would like to display some of the same sensor data there as well.

      Does anyone know of a module for MM that could display data sent from ESPHome? For most things, the data point would include an icon, label, value, and symbol.

        @cweinhofer Hi,

        I do not know ESPHome but it looks like it sends the data via MQTT.
        So you can use MMM-MQTTbridge to receive messages and MMM-ValuesByNotification to format and display them.
