Template

Paste this into the Board Template box on the node's Templates page, then Preview and Apply (firmware v5.0.0b1 or later). It sets the board's pins (and Ethernet type, if it has one) in one go. The LED, input and output lists replace what was configured before, so the result doesn't depend on the node's old setup. See Templates.

LED type: pwm, pwm_inverted, grb, grbw, rgb or rgbw (the last four are addressable). LED control: mqtt, status, motion, count, or output (follows the output numbered byoutput). Input type: pullup, pulldown or floating, with_inverted for active-low. Output type: output, output_inverted, or high/low for a pin that's just held at that level. An output's input is the 1-based input that controls it. power takes ESPHome's hlw8012 values (a cse7766 needs only rx); sel_inverted matches ESPHome's inverted on sel_pin. eth is the Ethernet Type's option number.

Notes

The generic esp32s3 build defaults to a PWM LED on GPIO 2, which this board doesn’t have. Without the template the status LED stays dark.
Plugging an I2C sensor into the GROVE port? Set I2C_Bus_1_SDA to 2 and I2C_Bus_1_SCL to 1 on the Hardware page (I2C is off by default).
The IR emitter isn’t used by ESPresense.
