🗒️ NOTES:
- I think I had installed the ESPHome integration before starting the install, that's why it showed up immediately


🔐 SECURITY:
- Download Athom YAML: https://github.com/athom-tech/athom-c...
- Edit to add the `api.encryption.key` and `web_server.auth` data
https://esphome.io/components/web_server
https://esphome.io/components/api
- Use ESPTOOL https://esphome.io/guides/getting_sta...
- My exact command was `esphome run garage-door.yaml --device (ip-address)`
- Check Home Assistant afterwards and it should ask for the key
NOTE: I kept a copy of the yaml file so I always have a copy of the password/key
