Newb; What components do I need to get PH and EC readings to a home assistant server on Pi4?

Hello,

I'm incredibly new to this stuff and I'm trying to figure out if it would be possible to get PH and EC readings sent from an ESP32 to a Pi4 running a Home Assistant server. I already have the Pi4 and the analog PH and EC meters and sensors. They are the kits from DFRobot. I just don't know how to get them all to talk to each other. I may be in over my head here. I have more ideas but am happy starting there.

Thanks,

Ryan

You would normally use something like MQTT on ESP-IDF or Arduino. However, you're not the first one trying to connect an ESP32 to HAS; there already are pre-made solutions. Your best bet may be to use something that is pre-built to work with it, like ESPHome.
