Stream server (serial-to-wifi bridge) for ESPHome

README.md

This component has moved to https://github.com/oxan/esphome-stream-server.

Great component!

I deployed it successfully in 2 applications in my home on ESP32 boards.
I have a question about also having an RSSI sensor defined on a board running your custom component. It seems it does not update, but keep sending the same value it started up with. When I remove the custom component, the RSSI works correctly:

ota:
  password: *****

sensor:
  - platform: wifi_signal
    name: "Paradox Alarm RSSI"
    update_interval: 60s
    
uart:
  id: uart_bus
  tx_pin: GPIO17
  rx_pin: GPIO16
  baud_rate: 57600
  
custom_component:
  - lambda: |-
      auto stream_server = new StreamServerComponent(id(uart_bus));
      return {stream_server};

@KosieKramer I can't imagine this is actually caused by the custom component, it does nothing even vaguely related to that. I expect it's a side-effect due to the continuous TCP load the serial server generates.

@oxan, after some more digging, it looks like it has nothing to do with your component. It is a combination of using a hidden SSID, ESP32 device and the fast_connect directive in ESPHome. In this combination, the RSSI does not seem to change. On ESP8266 devices it works.
