Pros it finally happened no not the haircut that was a few weeks ago if you missed a stream [Music] I got stood in the front I can't believe I'm doing committing to this I still can't believe you did it dude that's like that's awesome but for real the ESP home 2023 9 release and yeah I'm not gonna go do that cringy deal of reading change logs on a video y'all can all read I'm pretty sure and I believe um the Libra tiny has been merged and what is all the Libra tiny stuff that's all the crap we've been talking about with all the to your Cloud cutter and then it was Libra tuya but then they changed the name because it's in trolls or maybe copyright stuff not gonna get into all that but it's in ESP home stable so no needing to do that fork thing or whatever just install your regular ESP home add-on container whatever it is and dump everything all in one spot how freaking cool is that so don't click off yet we're gonna go through a few things there are a few changes because I know everybody was probably using you know the Dual dashboard stuff so now hey how do we get it back into one there are a few different yaml code changes we'll go over those it's nothing crazy so stay tuned for that and um not sure what else this is just my typical off the cuff unscripted video so whatever happens happens so I guess while we're here um there is one feature that I want to try out never would have thought that I would be putting wire guard on ESP or I'm not sure if it works on The Libertine you know back-end or the RTL chips but that's pretty cool there um I don't have any of these other sensors to go through and test but it's back to here it is and many back and forwards uh maybe they should fix that but I will go into that Kuba 2k2 I know there's got a couple different names around he's been putting in a tremendous amount of work to get Libra tiny into ESP home he's actually been told no a couple times and so kudos to him I will leave the links down below I've done some donations to him because of all the countless hours of work and everyone that has you know made Libra tiny into ESP home a thing if you don't really know what it is just think about it that you can take a lot of the different Smart Life devices and light bulbs and plugs and you can right now do some Cloud cutter things to them and over the air exploit and you can put ESP home on there make them truly local and bring them into home assistant and not have to deal with the cloud the two-year Cloud app or the two-year Cloud integration which is crap and yeah it just this works a little bit of you know work to get through it but hey I'm here to help you get that done you can check out some of the video guides or I even have a written guide for you on my website and yeah I just said it I won't go through all these damn changes you can just read it along yourself so before we jump into everything of migrating and moving your different dashboards I'm gonna say it you see all the yaml files that you have if you have two dashboards if they're split or the files are shared whatever it is copy this stuff in 10 damn different places I've seen it way too many times where people have locked ourselves out using the OTA passwords and they can't flash their devices or they lose the yaml file and they're like hey can I get it back is it in the device no it's not you need your yaml device code you're not going to be able to easily get it back so if you have stuff already in your ESP home please go back it up whatever means you use you know what you are you run either the add-on stuff do your backup there you run your own container copy that stuff out whatever it is throw it in the cloud encrypted or if you really just want to go old school you can just copy and paste these to a bunch of notepad files if that's the easiest way for you but yeah make sure you do back everything up and I'm going to go over this again later in the video don't overwrite your OTA passwords you won't get them back so for the add-on users I know in some cases that if you were using the Libra tiny ESP home it would actually have a different set of yaml files so when you went to here it was a different set you can see I don't have any and I should go in the file editor and you'll notice on this particular version and it can be different because some people were also using the ESP home beta copy where you know that they merge stuff in that I believe those are actually sharing but you can see I do have an ESP home folder here and then I have a libertuia ESP home folder here as well so you would need to move those yaml files over to your ESP home folder but just be careful like use one of the file managers and be careful not to overwrite an existing name and they will pop up in there so future Digi here and during editing I wanted to kind of show this a little bit better since some may not exactly know of course you can see here I have both the two guis got the Libra tiny and then the regular ESP home when they have different file locations probably the easiest method if you're using the samba add-on or if you even do the unraid users and just go to the folder where you have your device configs now ours is in config and you should see you got libretuya ESP home maybe Libra tiny not sure the exact names you can see there's the wise outdoor 2 and then here's the lever to you that's that best libertine device ever so you can just copy that over and then just paste it into here now do make sure that if you had some secrets in the other config versus that one don't overwrite your secrets file that would be bad but once you go back to the GUI you should be able to see it now there's that best Libra tiny device ever now you probably have some Secrets it's different between each I would just open them up and just copy and paste things out that you need versus what devices and then put it into your regular ESP Home Secrets and go from there but always a good idea make sure again back up all these files you never want to overwrite anything especially if you have some unique keys in there because you really can't get them back without a Serial flash now if you're doing like the docker container thing like say on my little test system here my unray box I've got two ESP home containers and one of them was going to ESP home here and the other one was going to ESP home Libra tiny I will need to go use like I know an unray if you really want to they have the MC you just go open up a command prompt and go to midnight commander and you old school folks will definitely you know recognize this little dual file and you can go move stuff over if you want don't want to do the command line thing but if you want to we can use whatever just copy your stuff over and get it on over to whatever it may be into that same folder of ESP home and do need to make sure that you do updating let's go ahead and update this one and because I will update this other one as well and the icon still trips me out sorry oh so we're at 2023 9.1 and I'm not gonna make a backup I just told y'all to do it but I'm this is my test system so yeah do make sure and do your all your backups the Yama files are small just copy them somewhere cop them in your own computer or whatever so yeah do make sure that you are using 2023.9.0 but I wear it 9.1 or better you know to be able to support all the little beckon chips and everything so what changes happen exactly in the yaml code I did talk a little bit about this on the previous video and it's not letting me zoom in gotta help out my mobile users if you have a device that has Beck and stuff on it right now the old Libra tiny or maybe the Libra tuya um if it has pwm you will need to which is pulse width modulation that's going to be like for dimming and things of LEDs like on bulbs and some like Night Lights this one is that happens to be that night light is you will get an error if you try to compile but you need to just change them to Libra tiny underscore pwm I believe before they were just called ledc but then that kind of stepped on things with the whole esp32 so they broke that out now under here we also used to have a block depending on what version you came from we had a block that said like Libra tiny that changed to bk72xx now if you're ever curious and you don't I don't even need this framework Dev here and the board is still the same and if you're ever curious of what can I do to just copy and paste some stuff in I want to see what something else looks like the upke 2 ESP home website is a pretty cool website it builds the ESP home yamo configs straight out of the profiles pulled from the to your devices themselves it's pretty cool there they're always changing and updating things also making it you know add on to do the stuff for the two-year MC secondary to your MCU stuff so but I'm just gonna pick this sounds like a good one this recessed RGB color temperature light always do take note of you know that there's two different chips the for the bk7231 there's the n and the T there are a lot of stuff put in to prevent you from overriding that because they are different builds but do make sure you know try not to write T to enter into your Vice Versa let's try not to test that feature out there's that block there if you want to copy and paste it and then this one also has that Libra tiny pwm you can use these as some excellent examples or really if you find your device just scroll down here like I want to do that motion night light that I was just talking about it should have the Libra tiny pwm already for us and we can just copy and paste stuff out pretty cool that they have this build things automatically for you how do I update my backend devices to you or whatever you want to call them do I have to go through all that to your Cloud cutter stuff again once I put ESP help no just press the button and hit wirelessly as long as you have it on plugged it in which I just did and let it eat and it uploads right flashes does all the things even though it is a beckon chip don't treat it any differently it's all in ESP home now one spot and of course I missed a feature that should be talked about many people that use the mqtt thing um not sure who that might be but uh yeah my chair just come undone it looked like an idiot but Libra tiny now does support you can enable mqtt for The Libertine devices so you don't have to use them with home assistant if you don't want to node raid fans rejoice be about a for this one I do appreciate Kuba Jesse and all the other ones ESP home people that made this a thing and I'm gonna say it again don't overwrite your damn OTA passwords it's bad yep y'all have a good one y'all know the drill press all them buttons down there and y'all take care
