Description:

Implements a new component coap_client

The CoAP Client component allows an ESPHome device to send CoAP messages to remote CoAP servers over UDP or TCP.
This is useful for integrating ESPHome devices with:

  • Constrained IoT devices/sensors
  • CoAP-enabled home automation systems
  • Local microcontrollers using lightweight UDP messaging
  • Any endpoint that exposes CoAP resources (GET/POST/etc.)

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.
