ES8156

The es8156 platform allows your ESPHome devices to use the ES8156 low power mono audio codec. This allows the playback of audio via the microcontroller from a range of sources via Speaker or Media Player.

The I²C bus is required in your configuration as this is used to communicate with the ES8156.

# Example configuration entry
audio_dac:
  - platform: es8156

Configuration variables

• address (Optional, int): The I²C address of the driver. Defaults to 0x18.
• i2c_id (Optional): The ID of the I²C bus the ES8156 is connected to.
• All other options from Audio DAC.
