ESPHome + Home Assistant Workflow Identify the task: new device/adopt, offline troubleshooting, or YAML feature changes. For HA-side validation, discover ESPHome entities and map to devices before changing names. For YAML changes, edit in ESPHome Device Builder (UI-first), validate, then install (USB first flash, OTA thereafter). When building automations from ESPHome entities, follow home-assistant-best-practices for automation patterns. HA-side discovery (common) Check integration state: ha_get_integration(query="esphome") Find entities by name or area: ha_search_entities(query="kitchen", limit=50) Map entity to device: ha_get_device(entity_id="...")
