Thought some people might be interested in this. I've been using ESPHome without Home Assistant for some while now. It is robust, reliable and very flexible. Love that I can have common configs and combine them for different devices.

Well, it turns out that not only does it have Wireguard VPN support for ESP32 devices which might be a good security feature for some folk with remote devices. It also has built-in "LibraTiny" support. This is the feature that lets you reflash devices that normally use Tuya cloud for control to use local control. Not soldering needed. LibraTiny also now supports direct MQTT support which means that you don't need Home Assistant to use Tuya devices either.

Very nice.
