The Gelidus Research PC1 board is designed to run on ESPHome frameworks. ESPHome integration with Home Assistant (HA) is ideal for providing a rich user interface. Adding the PC1 to ESPHome and HA is easy using the preinstalled GRPC1 captive portal or directly with the USB-C programming port. Once connected to your WIFI network you can interface to HA using one of the provided install guides. ESPHome network connectivity is via Thread or the standard WiFi 6 mode (Default). The configuration YAML is automatically imported via github.
