- ESPHome on RPi Pico W?! Why?
Because we can - and most of the things we do - we do because we can. Raspberry Pi Pico W is cheap board that can now power your ESPHome project too - if you can't find ESP8266 or ESP32, maybe you can source Pico W.
All open issues that were present at the time of the recoding have been fixed - mDSN and encyrption.

Thanks for this tutorial! There's so many esp32 vs. pi Pico articles out there that are all useless because they were written before the Pico W existed.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!!
The Pico W is cheaper in South Africa right now, I have a couple that I use to learn on, now I can use it with ESPHome as well, that is great news.
It opens options, and options are always good.
Thanks for the video.
So true Pascal, so true - always good when you can make a choice.
Thanks B.T. I think it is a great idea to have it available.
Thank you Ron!!!
I didn't know that, thanks so much for the information 😍👍
Quick search I found that it is a bit more expensive than ESP 32 (here in Egypt), didn't compare performance or power efficiency but anyway it is always good to have many choices.
Thank you ESPhome awesome guys, I hope to see Matter implementation in your awesome project.
That's great that you can find ESP32 locally cheaper. In Croatia they are nowhere to be found at stock, so now if I need I can get Pico W.
Performance of Pico W is better than 8266 but worse than ESP32.
@@BeardedTinker that is strange you can't find ESP 32 in Europe, maybe you can order it online (AliExpress) with unbelievable price, here in Egypt for example there are a huge constraints of import process and dollar price increases insanely so I hope no market shortage soon 🙏
Awesome video. I always learn from you
Thank you Allen!!!! :D
this was awesome thank you!
Nice Video!!! i will just wait for the stable to compare my esp32alarm vs rpipicow alarm
It should now be more stable, also Bluetooth, looks like RPi will finally somehow enable/make it work.
What the heck is ESPHome?!?! 🤣
Great video, makes me want to try it out haha
I don't know what it is - I just know how to install it 😂
I would love to see a BME 280 sensor readout and integration example with HA. Ive already done a BME 280 project (Local with a 2040 chip on a special board) but i havent triet to integrate it with HA yet :)
thank you, can you show us a video about running python scripts in a pico using esphome? (maybe it could be interesting because of raspberry pi having 2 cores, with libraries and all could be awesome)
Nice, i wonder what the use case will be compared to esp 32 or 8266. Thanks for the video.
Pico is unfortunately a bit worse in terms of performance, but good thing is that most shops that have electronics have them in stock. ESP32 has more RAM, speed,... But usually shops don't have it in stock.
It's more of alternative if you need it.
@@BeardedTinker that's unfortunate that is worst then ESP32 since probably will have a better community and documentation. Good to see it in esphome.
@@adifoto6362 yes, but also one good thing for Pico is that there are already a lot of ready modules for it too. So we can use them also now.
@@BeardedTinker cool i should get some to. thanks again for the video.
nice tutorial, it works
Glad to hear that - thank you!
I always read it as rapi cow 🐮😄
No cows were harmed during the recording of this video 😂😂😂
Sehr gut
Hi thanks for this great video, I want to run esp_now on my pi pico w system I use for my home assistant system but I don't get esp_now working on pi pico w in esphome
Never tried espnow - but my guess is that not all of the functions that ESP32/ESP8266 uses are available and compatible with Pico W. You could try asking author on GitHub and check if support for Pico W will be available.
Hello fine sir, thanks for your video. Do you know if this is in the full version yet?
Yes, it's been merged. No BLE support yet, but that should be added hopefully soon.
@@BeardedTinker Thank you, I have just struggled through building a few electricity meter pulse counting boards using "ESP8266 NodeMcu V2 CP2102 Lua WIFI" development boards, but I also have a handful of PicoW in my electronics box. I look forward to finding something to do with those PicoW modules. too. Thanks again for your video.
You're welcome and thanks for the comment!!!
Tested OK, but I only get a zero-value returned when defining a sensor of type wifi_signal... This works OK on both ESP32 and ESP8266
Is it working now for you? There is a bug that upon restart it gives values 0 but in next update service cycle it should give correct value.
👍
Can you edit the firmware that Home assist creates? The reason why i ask is because i want to also use the pimoroni breakout garden firmware/libraries
You can edit ESPHome yaml file for PicoW and configure things there. After that just upload firmware.
@@BeardedTinker ahh right ok. is there any guidance on how to configure it to work wity pimoroni breakout garden stuff?
OK
Interesting, I need no excuse to tinker with another device!
We never need any excuses - we simply do stuff :D
You don't mean that you run the esp home server on the pico, do you???
No, but you could run ESPHome Web server on it, so, depends on perspective what ESPHome and ESPHome server are.
You could even run ESPHome without any ESPHome servers on your network - would that make ESPHome standolone (server)? 😁
looking at the specs, pico w is basically as better as eps8266 can do. comparing it to esp32 is basically no contest at all, esp32 is hell a lot better.
as for the price, this pico w is stupidly expensive. if your planning to use it for IOT devices, just get yourself a cheap esp32 and save your wallet and sanity a million times.
100% correct Bit6 one thing you didn't compare - local availability. While most electronics shops don't stock on ESP32s, most do on Pico's. And it's always good as quick option.
1) What a pain to setup! 2) Temperature is built-in.
Actually, it's not. It only takes 2-3 minutes and except loading file over is similar to other ESPHome devices, when you add them for the first time...
