Earlier quoted context omitted.

No, it's not compatible. I am sorry, I misunderstood the purpose of your question.

It is compatible, since it is compatible with Zigbee2MQTT. See https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E2013.html Use a cheap x86 PC, install Proxmoxx, install Zigbee2MQTT, install HA.OS ... done!

One of the people leading ESPHome here. Let me know if there any questions. Last Saturday we announced that ESPHome is now owned by the Open Home Foundation. The Open Home Foundation fights for privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes. And for every person who lives in one.

I have one! ESPHome is awesome but I'm trying to steer away from Wifi IoT - a big reason is that I like the idea of self-healing meshes that can work entirely offline, without having to deal with a lot of configuration. Espressif seems to have a few devices with ZigBee capabilities, think there will be a way of building our own ZigBee device in the future?

This may be worth a read. ESP-WIFI-MESH

Mildly off-topic: I love ESPHome, and have used it for a couple of IoT-based temperature sensors around the house, but the thing that always makes me fail the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) is getting all the mess of ESP32s, sensors and wires all in a nicely tucked away container. What are y'all using to hide away the electronic components?

M5stack is the way to go here
