Backup

Save your ESPHome device configuration in firmware and and recover it if you lost source files. Just download it from http://yourdevice.local/config.yaml.

WARNING: You should backup your all your files, this solution only for emergency purpose. I am not responsible for the loss or inability to recover data.

WARNING: Stored configuration is the same as shown by esphome config command. It is fully worked but not the same as your original sources.

WARNING: Command line substitutions, custom components and includes are not supported yet!

The configuration is very simple. Look at a sample below:
