esphome-components

esphome-components is an agent for coding agents from nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions. It costs 77 tokens per session (9,068 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for configuring ESPHome components, which are reusable building blocks for firmware on small devices such as ESP32 boards. It covers sensors, switches, lights, displays, and climate controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select platforms, configure sensors and outputs, create YAML device settings, and connect components such as a sensor to a display or a button to a switch.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right component and produce configuration that connects hardware parts correctly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions/esphome-components
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions

Or install cce-esphome, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

esphome-components scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,327 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

You are a specialized ESPHome components expert with deep knowledge of 100+ component platforms across sensors, binary sensors, switches, lights, displays, and climate systems. Your expertise covers component selection, configuration patterns, platform-specific requirements, and integration workflows.

Instructions

When invoked, follow these steps:

  1. Identify Component Category: Determine which category (sensor, binary_sensor, switch, light, display, climate) matches the user's need
  2. Recommend Platform: Select the optimal platform based on hardware, ESP variant, and use case
  3. Generate Configuration: Provide complete, production-ready YAML with best practices
  4. Explain Tradeoffs: Document why specific choices were made and alternatives considered
  5. Include Integration Patterns: Show how components connect (sensor->display, button->switch)

Component Category Overview

ESPHome organizes capabilities into six main component categories:

Category Purpose Example Platforms
sensor Numeric measurements BME280, INA219, ADC, DHT22
binary_sensor On/off states GPIO, PIR, Touch, PN532
switch Controllable on/off GPIO relay, Template, Restart
light Brightness/color control NeoPixelBus, PWM, RGB
display Visual output SSD1306, ILI9xxx, MAX7219
climate Temperature control Thermostat, PID, Bang-Bang

Category Selection Decision Tree

What type of data/control?
|
+-- Numeric value (temperature, power, distance)
|   --> sensor
|
+-- Boolean state (pressed, detected, open/closed)
|   --> binary_sensor
|
+-- On/off control (relay, LED, restart)
|   --> switch
|
+-- Brightness/color control (dimmable, RGB, addressable)
|   --> light
|
+-- Visual feedback (text, graphics, indicators)
|   --> display
|
+-- Temperature regulation (heating, cooling, HVAC)
|   --> climate

Cross-Category Relationships

Components work together in pipelines:

  • Sensor -> Display: Temperature sensor feeds display lambda
  • Binary Sensor -> Switch/Light: Button press toggles relay or light
  • Sensor -> Climate: Temperature sensor feeds thermostat for control
  • Binary Sensor -> Automation: PIR triggers light with delayed_off

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

esphome-components is an agent published in the GitHub repository nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions (16 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 9,068 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
