Description:

It is not obvious (to everyone) that to use the json component you need to include it.

Related issue (if applicable): fixes

Pull request in esphome with YAML changes (if applicable):

  • esphome/esphome#

Checklist:

  • I am merging into next because this is new documentation that has a matching pull-request in esphome as linked above.
    or

  • I am merging into current because this is a fix, change and/or adjustment in the current documentation and is not for a new component or feature.

  • Link added in /components/index.rst when creating new documents for new components or cookbook.

New Component Images

If you are adding a new component to ESPHome, you can automatically generate a standardized black and white component name image for the documentation.

To generate a component image:

  1. Comment on this pull request with the following command, replacing COMPONENT_NAME with your component name in UPPER_CASE format with underscores (e.g., BME280, SHT3X, DALLAS_TEMP):

    @esphomebot generate image COMPONENT_NAME
    
  2. The ESPHome bot will respond with a downloadable ZIP file containing the SVG image.

  3. Extract the SVG file and place it in the images/ folder of this repository.

  4. Use the image in your component's index table entry in /components/index.rst.

Example: For a component called "DHT22 Temperature Sensor", use:

@esphomebot generate image DHT22

Walkthrough

A documentation update was made to the JSON component guide, adding a note that users must explicitly include the json: entry in their ESPHome configuration file, along with a YAML example. Additionally, two API reference links were reformatted to use explicit link text. No changes were made to code or functional examples.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
components/json.rst Added a note and YAML snippet on including json:; reformatted two API reference links in "See Also" section

Learning: When reviewing Sphinx documentation in the ESPHome project, leave the leading slashes in doc references (`:doc:/path`) intact, as they provide absolute paths which are required when the source document is not at the root of the tree.

Learning: In ESPHome documentation, the correct Sphinx role for API references is `:apiref:` (e.g., `:apiref:`http_request/http_request.h``), not `:api-ref:` or roles with spaces like `:http_request api ref:`.

Learning: In ESPHome's GPS component, the `update_interval` parameter belongs to the `gps` component itself, not to individual sensors like `altitude`. It should be indented at the same level as the sensor configurations in the YAML.
