Hi @twocolors

I have written quickstart guide for these nodes, but I am also old, and am doing something wrong. I can't see how to message you directly, so I'm just going to attach it as a text file, maybe you can copy and paste.

Thank you again for this very useful node.

Thx for the good quickstart! One thin I'm trying to figure out is how to turn a light on or off on an esp8266 with multiple lights connected. How can i select the according entity?
(...) light:

  • platform: monochromatic
    name: "Channel 1"
    output: output_component1
    effects:
    • flicker
    • pulse
    • strobe
  • platform: monochromatic
    name: "Channel 2"
    output: output_component2
    effects:
    • flicker
    • pulse
    • strobe
  • platform: monochromatic
    name: "Channel 3"
    output: output_component3
    effects:
    • flicker
    • pulse
    • strobe
      (...)
      Where can i add the entity name do tell ESPHOME OUT which light i want to switch?

Hi @modulator100,

If you can configure one, you can use multiple instances.

So add one esphome-out node, and configure it with the IP and passwords for the esphome device you want to control.

You will not be able to select an entity yet.

Deploy the flow.

Now open esphome-out again - you will see that you can now select entities.

You need one esphome-out node for each entity you want to switch. So if you have two switches on one device, you will need one esphome-out node for each one.
