 * `/components` - Custom components
+* `/devices` - Yaml files for my devices; this is the folder mounted as the config folder in the ESPHome container

The multi-click config on the fire pit switch is so that any press will turn it off but to turn it on you have to press it for 3 seconds (to try and prevent kids from turning it on).  This is used to control the combination fire pit and fountain in my backyard.  I just got this hooked up and is working good other then the fire pit doesn't always come on on the first try (I think I am getting some bounce in the switch but haven't had a chance to troubleshoot further).

 ## Switches
 ### [SANA Dual Switch](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QC5ZCHP)
 My basement bathroom has a single gang box (and not enough room to swith to dual gang) for the switches to control the shower light and heat lamps so this is a perfect fit.  The price is right, the buttons feel solid, and I was able to flash it using [Tuya-Convert](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert).  It does seem to have corners that are squarer then typical so I had a little bit of trouble getting a standard cover to fit but nothing I couldn't fix with a file.

 This is installed in place of the switch that controled my [TREO LED Pool Lights](https://www.srsmith.com/en-us/products/pool-lighting/treo-led-pool-light/).  These lights have the option to select different colors by briefly turning them off and back on again and they do remember the last color when turned on again.  The custom [Treo Led Pool Lights](./components/treo_led_pool_light/README.md) component handles tracking the current color and exposes custom "effects" for each of the colors to [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/).  I have this configured to turn the lights on/off with the top/bottum buttons and use the middle button to change colors.

 ## Freeze Protection
 One of the relays on the M5Stack ATOM HUB SwitchD controls a pair of [heaters](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXSDMR2) inside the fridge to keep it from dropping below freezing (frozen beer is no fun), using ESPHome's [PID climate controller](https://esphome.io/components/climate/pid.html).
