+description: Review guidance for ESPHome pull requests. Use this when reviewing a pull request that changes ESPHome Python, C++, or component code, to check it against the project's coding conventions, embedded-systems memory rules, testing requirements, and breaking-change policy.
+---
+
+# Reviewing ESPHome pull requests
+
+ESPHome parses YAML into C++ firmware for memory-constrained microcontrollers
+(ESP32, ESP8266, RP2040, LibreTiny). Review changes with that in mind: RAM and
+flash are scarce, and code runs unattended for months.
+
+`AGENTS.md` in the repository root is the full contributor guide and the
+authority when it disagrees with this summary. The developer documentation at
+https://developers.esphome.io explains the component lifecycle and the reasoning
+behind these rules. This skill lists the concrete things worth flagging in a
+review; read `AGENTS.md` for the detail behind any item.
+
+Only raise findings that the diff actually introduces or changes. Do not ask for
+drive-by cleanup of pre-existing code the PR did not touch.
+
+## Memory and embedded constraints (highest value)
+
+Heap allocation after `setup()` is treated as a reliability bug, not a
+performance nit, because it fragments a small shared heap. Flag:
+
+- New heap allocation on a hot path or after setup that could be avoided.
+- `std::vector` where the size is known at compile time (use `std::array`, or
+  `StaticVector<T, N>` when a `push_back` API is needed) or fixed at runtime
+  init (use `FixedVector<T>`).
+- Listener / child-entity registration lists stored as `std::vector`; these have
+  a compile-time-known count and should use `cg.slot_counter()` plus
+  `StaticVector`.
+- `std::vector<uint8_t>` for a byte buffer that never grows: prefer
+  `std::unique_ptr<uint8_t[]>` or `std::array`.
+- `std::map` / `std::set` / `std::unordered_map` for small datasets (1-16
+  elements): a `std::vector` of a small struct with linear search is lighter.
+- `std::deque` anywhere: it allocates 512-byte blocks and should be avoided.
+- `std::string` storing a value set once from config: prefer `StringRef` (the
+  literal already lives in flash).
+- `std::string` / `std::to_string` / string-returning helpers on hot paths where
+  a buffer or view API exists.
+
+## C++ conventions
+
+- Include what you use: a file referencing a symbol must include the header that
+  declares it, even if it currently arrives transitively. New or changed uses of
+  a symbol need the matching include.
+- Prefix all member access with `this->`.
+- Naming: `lower_snake_case` for functions/methods/variables, `UpperCamelCase`
+  for classes/structs/enums, `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for namespace-scope constants,
+  trailing underscore on protected/private fields.
+- `enum class` values must be prefixed with the enum name in `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`
+  (e.g. `UARTFlushResult::UART_FLUSH_RESULT_SUCCESS`). Bare names like `SUCCESS`,
+  `FAIL`, or `OK` collide with SDK macros on some platforms and break the build.
+- Prefer `const`/`enum` over `#define`; `#define` is only for conditional
+  compilation and code-generation sizes.
+- Never call `millis()` in a `loop()` body; use
+  `App.get_loop_component_start_time()`. A rate-limit gate below ~16 ms (the loop
+  period) does nothing.
+- Pick the timing primitive by cadence: gated `loop()` under 250 ms,
+  `set_interval` at 500 ms and above.
+- Do not override a base method to return the value it already returns (e.g.
+  `get_setup_priority()` returning `setup_priority::DATA`).
+- Wrap string literals passed as printf `%s` args in `LOG_STR_LITERAL()`.
+- Required, invariant dependencies should be constructor parameters, not setters.
+- Callback registration methods must be templated (`template<typename F>`), not
+  typed as `std::function`, so lightweight forwarders avoid a heap allocation.
+- Two-space indent, `using` over `typedef`, wrap at 120 columns.
+
+## Python conventions
+
+- Type-annotate every new function signature (params and return), new dataclass
+  fields, and new module-level variables. Import `ConfigType` from
+  `esphome.types`.
+- Use the walrus operator to avoid a double lookup, e.g.
+  `if (blah := config.get(CONF_BLAH)) is not None:`.
+- Reuse existing validators from `config_validation.py` (`cv.rename_key`,
+  `cv.has_exactly_one_key`, etc.) via `cv.All(...)` instead of hand-rolling.
+- `esphome/const.py` is frozen: no new `CONF_` constants there. Define them in
+  the component's own `.py`, or in `esphome/components/const/__init__.py` when
+  shared. The same constant defined in three or more component files fails CI.
+- State that must persist during code generation goes in `CORE.data` namespaced
+  under the component `DOMAIN` (a `@dataclass`), not module-level mutable globals.
+- Prefer callback-based triggers via `build_callback_automation()`; only use a
+  `Trigger<Ts...>` subclass when the forwarder needs mutable state.
+
+## Testing and coverage
+
+- New and changed lines and branches need test coverage, including defensive
+  early-returns, error paths, and no-op guards. A mocked-out function is not
+  covered; exercise the real call path too.
+- Component YAML tests live in `tests/components/<component>/`. Never define
+  buses (uart, i2c, spi, modbus) directly in a test file: pull them from
+  `tests/test_build_components/common/` through dict-style `packages:` so CI can
+  group builds. List-style packages or top-level merge keys block grouping.
+- Config-only checks use the `validate.*.yaml` prefix; compiled checks use
+  `test.*.yaml`.
+
+## Breaking changes and public API
+
+- Base classes under `esphome/core/` and documented config options are public
+  API. Undocumented `public` members of a component are internal.
+- A breaking change needs justification, a migration path in the PR description,
+  and a deprecation window where feasible (`ESPDEPRECATED` in C++,
+  `cv.rename_key(..., removed_in=...)` in Python). Changing a codegen-injected
+  lambda signature is not a breaking change.
+
+## Process and PR hygiene
+
+- PR titles start with a `[tag]` prefix: the component name (e.g. `[uart] ...`)
+  or `[core]` for shared code.
+- Prose in docs, comments, and commit messages should be plain English. Keep
+  inline comments short and only where the code is not self-explanatory; do not
+  restate what the code says.
+- Verify the PR fills out `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and adds
+  `CODEOWNERS` entries for a new component.

+
+        AI tools are good at carrying out well-defined tasks, but they are not good at troubleshooting.
+        Please do NOT paste an AI-generated wall of text into the issue template - if the AI hasn't solved
+        your problem, its wild guesses are not likely to help.
+
+        Please DO include your own words and observations, compile/boot logs, and
+        especially a minimal reproducible example of your YAML configuration that demonstrates the problem.
+
+        It is however quite acceptable to use AI to translate your *own* report,
+        if you aren't a competent English speaker.
+
+        If you really think it will be useful to include an AI's analysis, preferably wrap it in a `<details>` block which will be collapsed by default.
+
+        If you are using AI to help solve a problem, rather than asking it to speculate about what the problem is,
+        it can be more useful to ask it to create a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure.
+        AI is also useful for generating boilerplate code, such as a minimal reproducible example of your YAML
+        configuration that demonstrates the problem.
+
+        Used properly, AI can be a useful tool to help you solve your problem, but don't let it get in the way.

+**Read the developer documentation before writing a component.** https://developers.esphome.io covers the

+file does, and it is the authority when they disagree. The most useful starting points:
+
+*   https://developers.esphome.io/architecture/components/ - component lifecycle, `setup()`, `loop()`,
+    setup priorities, and how a component is registered.
+*   https://developers.esphome.io/architecture/components/advanced/ - choosing between `loop()`,
+    `set_interval`, `set_timeout` and `defer`; waking the loop from another thread; the RAM cost of each.
+*   https://developers.esphome.io/contributing/code/ - contribution rules, public API and breaking changes.
+
 *   **Formatting:**
     *   **Python:** Uses `ruff` and `flake8` for linting and formatting. Configuration is in `pyproject.toml`.
     *   **C++:** Uses `clang-format` for formatting. Configuration is in `.clang-format`.

+          `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` (e.g. `UARTFlushResult::UART_FLUSH_RESULT_SUCCESS`). Never use bare
+          names like `SUCCESS`, `FAILURE`, `OK`, or `FAIL`: platform SDK headers define macros with

+
+*   **Python Idioms:**
+    *   **Assignment expressions (PEP 572):** Prefer the walrus operator (`:=`) wherever it removes a redundant lookup or a throwaway temporary. The most common case in component code is presence-checking a config key and then indexing it separately — fetch once with `.get()` and bind in the condition instead:
+        ```python
+        # Bad - looks up CONF_BLAH twice
+        if CONF_BLAH in config:

+            cg.add(var.set_blah(blah))
+        ```
+        The same applies to `while` loops and comprehensions where it avoids recomputing a value. Don't contort code to use it — reach for `:=` only when it genuinely cuts repetition or an extra assignment line.
 
 *   **C++ Field Visibility:**

+    *   **Don't override a default with the same value:** if a base class method already returns what you
+        want, do not override it. `Component::get_setup_priority()` returns `setup_priority::DATA`, so a
+        component that wants `DATA` should simply leave it alone.
+        ```cpp
+        // Bad - this is exactly what the base class already does
+        float get_setup_priority() const override { return setup_priority::DATA; }
+        ```
+    *   **Logging string literals:** wrap literals passed as `%s` arguments in `LOG_STR_LITERAL()` so they
+        can be stored in flash rather than RAM.
+        ```cpp
+        // Bad
+        ESP_LOGV(TAG, "Key %u %s", key, pressed ? "pressed" : "released");
+
+        // Good
+        ESP_LOGV(TAG, "Key %u %s", key, pressed ? LOG_STR_LITERAL("pressed") : LOG_STR_LITERAL("released"));
+        ```
     *   **Constructor parameters vs setters:** Component properties that are both **required** and **invariant**
         (never change after construction) should be constructor parameters rather than set via setter methods.
         This makes the dependency explicit and prevents use of the object in an incompletely-initialized state.

            Linear search on small datasets (1-16 elements) is often faster than hashing/tree overhead, but this depends on lookup frequency and access patterns. For frequent lookups in hot code paths, the O(1) vs O(n) complexity difference may still matter even for small datasets. `std::vector` with simple structs is usually fine—it's the heavy containers (`map`, `set`, `unordered_map`) that should be avoided for small datasets unless profiling shows otherwise.

+## 9. English Language
+
+The project uses English for non-code content. When drafting documentation, code comments, commit messages,
+PR descriptions, and similar text, avoid technical jargon. Instead, express concepts in plain English,
+using standard technical terms only when required. Ensure the text is readily comprehensible to a wide
+audience, including non-native English speakers.
+
+## 10. Code Comments
+
+Code comments on individual lines should be used only where necessary to flag issues that may not be obvious
+on a simple reading of the code. Keep them short (e.g. 1 or 2 lines).
+
+Function and method comment blocks may include more detail as required to make
+calling contracts clear and document parameter usage, but should still be kept concise.
+
+Avoid redundancy and repetition; comments should never simply restate what the code already says.

+# ESPHome Threat Model
+
+This document defines the trust boundary for the **ESPHome** repository — the
+Python compiler/CLI and the device firmware it generates — so that real security
+bugs can be told apart from defense-in-depth improvements. It gives contributors,
+reviewers, and security researchers a clear answer to one question:
+**does this issue let an _unauthenticated_ attacker do something they shouldn't?**
+
+Related documents:
+
+- Deployment guidance for operators:
+  https://esphome.io/guides/security_best_practices/
+- The **Device Builder dashboard** (the web UI, its authentication, ingress,
+  Origin/Host gates, and peer-link pairing) lives in a separate repository and
+  has its own threat model. If your report concerns any of that, please read and
+  report there instead:
+  https://github.com/esphome/device-builder/blob/main/docs/THREAT_MODEL.md
+
+## The trust boundary
+
+For this repository there are two trusted inputs by design:
+
+1. **The configuration.** Anyone who can supply or edit a YAML config is trusted
+   (see below).
+2. **Authenticated peers of a running device** — clients holding the device's
+   API/OTA encryption key, API password, OTA password, or web server
+   credentials.
+
+The security boundary is therefore **unauthenticated network traffic vs. those
+trusted inputs.** A bug that lets an unauthenticated attacker cross it is a
+security bug.
+
+## Config authors are host-equivalent by design
+
+Anyone who can supply or edit a configuration is **trusted with full code
+execution on the host that runs `esphome`**, on purpose. This is what the product
+does, not a flaw. A config author can already, through fully supported features:
+
+- Run arbitrary **Python** at validation/compile time via `external_components:`
+  (and other component-import mechanisms) — ESPHome imports those packages as
+  ordinary Python.
+- Run arbitrary **shell** commands through the compile/validate/flash toolchain
+  that ESPHome invokes as subprocesses.
+- Read and write arbitrary files reachable by the process (e.g. via `!include`,
+  `packages:`, `dashboard_import:`, and generated build output).
+
+Because of this, a malicious config author is equivalent to shell access on the
+host running the build.
+
+## What is *not* a security vulnerability
+
+If exploiting an issue requires the ability to supply or edit configuration, it
+is **not** a vulnerability in ESPHome, because that ability already grants host
+code execution. This explicitly includes, among others:
+
+- Template / expression injection in substitutions or any YAML string value
+  (e.g. Jinja `${...}` evaluation reaching Python internals). This grants no
+  capability a config author lacks.
+- `!include` / `packages:` / `dashboard_import:` reading or fetching content
+  from surprising or remote locations.
+- The validator or compiler crashing or behaving unexpectedly on adversarial
+  YAML.
+- ESPHome running as root in the official container — that is the documented
+  deployment posture, reachable by the same caller through the features above.
+
+These do not warrant a CVE or coordinated disclosure. Hardening in these areas
+(for example, sandboxing template evaluation as least-surprise defense-in-depth)
+is welcome as a normal enhancement PR, framed as cleanliness rather than a
+security fix — not as a vulnerability remediation.
+
+## What we do defend
+
+These *are* security bugs in this repo, and we want to hear about them privately:
+
+- Memory-safety or protocol bugs in the generated **device firmware** that are
+  remotely triggerable over the network (native API, web server, OTA, BLE,
+  captive portal, etc.) **without** valid credentials.
+- Authentication or encryption bypass on the device — reaching API calls, OTA
+  updates, or the web server without the configured key/password.
+- Flaws that weaken the device's API or OTA encryption (Noise), OTA auth, or
+  web server auth below their documented guarantees.
+
+## The web server is an open HTTP API by design
+
+The `web_server` component exposes a plain HTTP interface for viewing and
+controlling entities, and, when the `web_server` OTA platform is enabled, for
+uploading firmware at `/update`. Its only access controls are the optional
+`web_server` `auth:` credentials and the network the device sits on.
+
+When `auth:` is not configured, every endpoint is reachable by any client that
+can reach the device. This is intentional; enabling `web_server` without `auth:`
+is choosing an open control surface, in the same way that running native OTA
+without a password leaves OTA open. The API is documented and is meant to be
+called by other devices, scripts, and pages.
+
+As defense-in-depth, the web server checks the `Origin` header on browser requests
+to its entity control and state endpoints: a request whose `Origin` does not match
+the address the device is served on is rejected, and the `allowed_origins` option
+widens that list. This blocks the common "confused deputy" (CSRF) case where a page
+the operator visits drives the device through their browser. It is **not** an
+authentication boundary: it only constrains browsers. Any client that omits the
+`Origin` header — `curl`, scripts, or other non-browser callers on the same
+network — reaches every endpoint exactly as before. The check also does not cover
+the web OTA `/update` endpoint. The device performs no CSRF-token or `Referer`
+validation. The following are therefore **not** vulnerabilities in this repository:
+
+- Requests without an `Origin` header (for example `curl`) reaching the control
+  endpoints, whether or not `web_server` `auth:` is set.
+- Requests from an origin the operator added to `allowed_origins`.
+- Cross-origin or CSRF firmware upload through the web OTA endpoint (`/update`) when
+  web OTA is enabled without `web_server` `auth:`. The `/update` endpoint is not
+  covered by the `Origin` check; this is the same exposure as running OTA without a
+  password.
+
+The supported defenses are `web_server` `auth:`, protecting OTA (a web password or
+a native OTA password), and keeping devices on a trusted, segmented network. See
+the security best practices guide linked above.
+
+What remains in scope is bypassing `web_server` `auth:` when it *is* configured,
+and any memory-safety or protocol bug in the server reachable without credentials.
+
+This section documents the current design and scope; it is not a judgment that the
+design is optimal or that it will not change.
+
+## OTA update encryption
+
+The `esphome` OTA platform optionally encrypts updates with the same Noise
+`NNpsk0` pattern the native API uses; one key protects the device. A device
+whose `api:` block has an encryption key, static in the YAML or provisioned at
+runtime, compiles in the transport and offers it on every OTA connection once
+it holds a key, so an uploader presenting that key gets the guarantees below
+even without an `ota: encryption:` block; only that block makes the device
+require encryption. The guarantees are: the firmware image is confidential in
+transit, the uploader is authenticated by the pre-shared key, and the plaintext
+negotiation preceding the handshake is bound into the handshake prologue, so
+stripping or tampering with it fails the first MAC. With `ota: encryption:`
+configured both ends fail closed with no override: the device refuses
+plaintext uploads, and the CLI refuses to send plaintext when a key is
+configured. Without that block the CLI tries a static api key when the device
+offers and, until 2027.3.0, falls back to plaintext with a warning when the
+offer is missing or the handshake fails; a runtime provisioned key never
+reaches the CLI, so those uploads stay plaintext.
+
+Defeating any of that without the key is in scope: a device that requires
+encryption accepting a plaintext or downgraded upload, getting past the MAC,
+or recovering image contents from captured traffic.
+
+The following are **not** vulnerabilities, by design:
+
+- Plaintext OTA on a device with no `ota: encryption:` block, including one
+  that offers encryption because it has an api key. That is the documented
+  default, authenticated (if at all) by the OTA password. An uploader that
+  takes the offer skips the password; the key authenticates it. With a
+  runtime provisioned key and no `provisioning:` window, whoever provisions
+  the key gains that upload path too; validation warns about the pair.
+- The CLI plaintext fallback until 2027.3.0: without `ota: encryption:` an
+  active attacker who strips the offer or breaks the handshake can make a
+  keyed CLI upload plaintext, with the pre-existing plaintext exposure. A
+  device that requires encryption still refuses that upload.
+- The enablement window: firmware built with a static api key already offers
+  encryption, so turning on `ota: encryption:` is itself an encrypted upload.
+  Older firmware needs one last plaintext upload of an offering build, with
+  the pre-existing plaintext exposure.
+- The web OTA `/update` endpoint alongside encryption. With the `web_server`
+  or `prometheus` component the shared listener is always up, so the endpoint
+  stays reachable and validation warns about that combination;
+  `captive_portal:` alone brings the listener up only for the fallback AP
+  window, which is the intended recovery path, so that is not warned about.
+- CLI retry behavior on transport or MAC failures; every attempt renegotiates
+  a fresh handshake with fresh ephemerals, so retrying does not weaken
+  authentication.
+
+## Explicitly out of scope
+
+- Local attackers who already have shell access on the host that runs `esphome`.
+- Supply-chain attacks against ESPHome or its dependencies.
+- Operator-supplied hostile YAML (covered above — config authoring is trusted).
+- Attacks that require an already-authenticated device peer (someone who already
+  holds the API key / OTA / web credentials).
+- Access to the device web server or its web OTA endpoint by non-browser clients
+  (those that send no `Origin` header). The web server is an open HTTP API by
+  design (see above); browser cross-origin requests are blocked by default, but the
+  real controls are `web_server` `auth:` and network isolation.
+- Anything in the dashboard / device-builder — report that in its own repository
+  (linked at the top).
+- Deployments where the operator removed protections or exposed credentials. See
+  the security best practices guide:
+  https://esphome.io/guides/security_best_practices/
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+If you believe you've found an issue that crosses the unauthenticated boundary
+above, please report it privately via GitHub Security Advisories rather than a
+public issue. For issues that require config-write access, please review this
+document first — they are very likely out of scope by design. For dashboard /
+device-builder issues, report against that repository and consult its threat
+model (linked at the top).
