docker-compose exec esphome rm -rf /config/.esphome/platformio

docker-compose exec esphome rm -rf /root/.platformio

docker-compose exec esphome esphome compile irrigation-system-controller.yaml

Framework (esp-idf vs arduino)

arduino is more beginner friendly, esp-idf offers more control.

The code between the frameworks are completely different. Here is an example

arduino

pinMode(5, OUTPUT); // Set GPIO5 as output digitalWrite(5, HIGH); // Set GPIO5 HIGH

esp-idf

gpio_set_direction(GPIO_NUM_5, GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT); gpio_set_level(GPIO_NUM_5, 1);
