ESPHome Emulator

Pretend to be an ESPHome device with a Python script.

Why?

Just for fun and to learn protobuf and sockets in Python.

Installation

python3 -m pipx install git+https://github.com/aarongorka/esphome-emulator.git
esphome-emulator install # or alternatively, set up the systemd service yourself
systemctl daemon-reload --user && systemctl enable --user --now esphome-emulator

Limitations

  • No encryption
  • No authentication
  • No discovery
  • Doesn't handle multiple clients
  • Doesn't integrate with ESPHome dashboard/server, only Home Assistant
  • Only implements sending of sensor data
  • Limited sensor implementation
  • Spaghetti codebase
