Vendored from https://github.com/gpeter62/ESP_UniClock: the sketch source, the web UI and the libraries the ESP8266 build needs, unpacked from the bundled zips. Adds a PlatformIO project for the ESP-12. The source is unchanged; local changes follow as separate commits. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Home Assistant availability example
This example shows how to use "availability" feature of the Home Assistant. It's supported only by following device types:
- Binary sensor
- Sensor
- Switch
- HVACs
- Fans
Initialization and usage
Availability feature is turned off by default. In order to turn it on for the specific
sensor/switch you need to set initial state of the unit by calling setAvailability method.
Example:
...
HABinarySensor sensor("input", "door", true, mqtt);
void setup() {
// ...
// method must be called before `mqtt.begin(...)`
sensor.setAvailability(false); // offline
mqtt.begin(BROKER_ADDR);
}
...
After availability is set for the very first time you can call setAvailability in any time.
Each time the method is called, the device will publish MQTT message to the broker.
