Alfawise SJ-7 (Essential oil diffuser)

Updated for ESPHOME 2025.2.0 and later

https://esphome.io/guides/contributing#a-note-about-custom-components

Working

• All essential oil diffuser related controls (ON/OFF; LOW/HIGH; Timer 1H/3H/6H).
• Lava lamp lighting activation, fast/slow color change, I can add stop color change button if needed.
• OTA upgrade.

Not Working

• Use the light like a classic bulb (just on of off and choose a color).

Installation

Flashing

For flashing, you have to solder wires like this:

Use U0TXD, U0RXD, GND (and VCC if you dont want to use the diffuser power supply).

Make sure to ground GPIO0 during boot.

You can use the ESPHome add-on from Home Assistant Community Add-ons

External components

Use the default config :

external_components:
  - source: github://antibill51/Alfawise_SJ-7_HASSIO/esphome

Or place the "components" folder with its contents in the same folder as the .yaml file. (example: config/esphome/components) and use that :

external_components:
  - source:
      type: local
      path: components
