pysmartnode
A MicroPython framework for building and deploying smart home nodes on ESP32/ESP8266 microcontrollers using MQTT communication.
What is pysmartnode?
pysmartnode is a MicroPython framework for building smart home automation nodes on microcontrollers like ESP32 and ESP8266. It provides a structured way to create custom sensors, switches, and devices that communicate over MQTT, integrating seamlessly with systems like Home Assistant. The framework handles networking, component management, and reliability features, allowing developers to focus on hardware-specific logic.
IoT developers and hobbyists building custom smart home devices on MicroPython-compatible hardware, especially those using ESP32 or ESP8266 boards and wanting MQTT integration with Home Assistant.
It offers a more accessible and extensible alternative to C/C++-based smart home frameworks, with clear documentation, easy component creation, and built-in reliability features like crash recovery. The standardized sensor/switch APIs and MQTT auto-discovery simplify development and integration.
