 ## Installation
 
-Detailed installation instructions coming soon. The process will include:
+Follow these steps to get your TX Ultimate device up and running with ESPHome.
 
-1. Initial ESPHome setup
-2. Device flashing
-3. Home Assistant integration
-4. Basic configuration
+### ESPHome Integration Setup
+
+1. Install the ESPHome add-on in Home Assistant if not already installed:
+   - Go to Settings → Add-ons → Add-on Store
+   - Search for "ESPHome" 
+   - Click Install
+2. Start the ESPHome add-on and verify it's running
+3. Access ESPHome dashboard through Home Assistant
+
+### Setup Device
+
+1. In the ESPHome dashboard, click "+ New Device"
+2. Name your device (e.g., "tx-ultimate-living-room")
+3. Select ESP32 as your device type
+4. Copy this basic configuration to your new device:
+   ```yaml
+   substitutions:
+     name: tx-ultimate-easy
+     friendly_name: TX Ultimate Easy
+
+   wifi:
+     ssid: !secret wifi_ssid

+       ref: stable  # Or you can specify a version, like `ref: v2024.12.6` or `ref: latest` to the latest non-stable

+         # - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_addon_ble_proxy.yaml     # Adds BLE proxy support
+   ```
+   You can also use a specific version tag for better control over updates:
+   ```yaml
+   ref: v2024.12.2  # Using specific version for controlled updates
+   ```
+    **Notes:**
+      - [Click here](https://github.com/edwardtfn/TX-Ultimate-Easy/tags) for a full list of versions available.
+      - [Click here](TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome.yaml)
+        for the latest version of this yaml.
+5. Click "Save" and then "Install"
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> Starting from version 2025.1.0, non-essential components like `web_server`, `captive_portal`, and `wifi`
+> are no longer included in the core package. If you need these components,
+> you must add them manually to your local configuration file.
+> For example:
+> ```yaml
+> # Add these to your configuration if needed
+> web_server:
+> captive_portal:
+> wifi:
+>   ap: # Access point configuration
+> ```
+
+### Advanced Settings
+For more granular control over components,
+you can use our [advanced configuration template](TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_advanced.yaml).
+This template allows you to selectively include specific packages, which can be useful for:
+
+- Troubleshooting specific components
+- Reducing memory usage by excluding unused features
+- Customizing functionality for specific use cases
+
+Here's an example of the advanced configuration:
+```yaml
+packages:
+  remote_package:
+    url: https://github.com/edwardtfn/TX-Ultimate-Easy
+    ref: stable  # Or you can specify a version, like `ref: v2024.12.6` or `ref: latest` to the latest non-stable
+    refresh: 5min
+    files:
+      # Core (essential) packages
+      - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_core_common.yaml      # Basic shared settings
+      - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_core_hw_buttons.yaml  # Button logic
+      - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_core_hw_leds.yaml     # LED configuration
+      - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_core_hw_touch.yaml    # Touch panel support
+
+      # Optional but recommended packages
+      - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_standard_hw_relays.yaml     # Relay control
+      - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_standard_hw_vibration.yaml  # Haptic feedback
+
+      # Audio options (use none or choose only one - using both will fail)
+      - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_standard_media_player.yaml  # Media player (Recommended for most users)
+      # - ESPHome/TX-Ultimate-Easy-ESPHome_standard_hw_speaker.yaml  # Basic speaker
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Use the advanced configuration with caution. Excluding core packages may cause instability or reduced functionality.
+
+### Device Flashing
+
+Initial flashing must be done via serial connection.
+We recommend using [ESPHome Web](https://web.esphome.io) for the simplest experience.
+
+<!-- markdownlint-disable MD028 -->
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> **SAFETY WARNINGS**
+> - ALWAYS disconnect the device from mains power before opening
+> - NEVER work on the device while connected to mains power
+> - Ensure the device is completely powered off before making any connections
+> - Keep your workspace clean, dry, and static-free
+> - Use proper insulated tools when working with electronics
+> - If unsure about any step, seek help from an experienced person
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+>⚡ **CRITICAL: VOLTAGE WARNING**
+> Using a UART adapter with voltage higher than 3.3V WILL DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE.
+> Double-check your adapter's voltage before connecting - many common FTDI adapters
+> default to 5V which will permanently damage the ESP32 chip.
+<!-- markdownlint-enable MD028 -->
+
+#### Required Hardware
+- USB-to-UART adapter:
+  - 3.3V logic level ONLY (DO NOT use 5V adapters)
+  - Must be capable of supplying at least 500mA
+  - Common adapters: CP2102, CH340, FTDI (ensure 3.3V setting)
+- Small Phillips screwdriver
+- 5 wires for connections (including one for BOOT to GND)
+
+#### Flashing Process
+1. Open your TX Ultimate device carefully
+2. Locate the programming header pins
+3. Connect your USB-to-UART adapter:
+
+   | Adapter | Device |
+   |---------|--------|
+   | GND     | GND    |
+   | 3.3V    | 3.3V   |
+   | TX      | RX     |
+   | RX      | TX     |
+
+4. Put device in flash mode:
+   - Temporarily connect the BOOT pin to GND using a jumper wire
+   - While holding BOOT to GND, power up the device
+   - After device powers up (wait a couple of seconds), remove the BOOT to GND connection
+5. Visit [ESPHome Web](https://web.esphome.io)
+6. Connect to your device and flash the firmware
+7. After successful flash, device will restart and be ready for OTA updates
+
+#### Detailed Visual Guides
+<!-- markdownlint-disable MD013 -->
+For step-by-step visual instructions, you can reference these existing guides:
+- 🇬🇧 [WirelessThings Guide](https://wirelessthings.io/index.php/2023/12/19/how-to-flash-sonoff-tx-ultimate-with-esphome/) - English guide with detailed photos
+- 🇪🇸 [Un loco y su tecnología](https://youtu.be/58v8oqSQgXQ?t=143) - Spanish video tutorial
+- 🇩🇪 [SmartHome yourself](https://youtu.be/naDLhX89enQ?t=465) - German video tutorial
+<!-- markdownlint-enable MD013 -->
+
+Note: While these guides may use different firmware, the physical flashing process remains the same.
+
+#### Subsequent Updates
+After initial flashing, all future updates can be done wirelessly (OTA)
+through the ESPHome dashboard in your ESPHome add-on.
+
+### Home Assistant Integration
+
+After successful flashing:
+1. Ensure your device and Home Assistant are on the same network
+2. Device should be automatically discovered within 1–2 minutes
+3. Accept the discovery notification in Home Assistant to add device
+   Note: If discovery takes longer than 5 minutes, proceed to troubleshooting steps
+4. Device will appear in your Home Assistant Devices dashboard
+
+#### Troubleshooting Integration
+If the device isn't discovered automatically:
+1. Verify your device is powered and connected to your network:
+   - Look for the device in your router's client list
+   - Consider using [manual IP](https://esphome.io/components/wifi.html#manual-ips) in your device
+2. If you missed the discovery notification:
+   - Go to Settings → Devices & Services
+   - Click "Add Integration"
+   - Search for "ESPHome" and enter your device's IP address
+3. Still having issues?
+   - Check your network allows mDNS/discovery traffic
+   - Verify there are no VLANs or network isolation preventing communication
+   - Try rebooting both the device and Home Assistant
+
+### Initial Configuration
+
+1. In Home Assistant, navigate to:
+   - Settings → Devices & Services → ESPHome
+   - Click on your device to access its configuration page
+2. Set basic device parameters:
+   - Model format (EU/US)
+   - Number of gangs (1-4)
+   - Relay modes (switch/light)
+   - Button actions
+3. Optional: Configure advanced features
+   - LED behaviors
+   - Touch sensitivity
+   - Haptic feedback
+   - Audio feedback
+4. Test your configuration:
+   - Verify each relay responds to controls
+   - Test configured button actions
+   - Confirm LED behavior matches settings
+   - Check haptic/audio feedback if enabled
+
+> [!NOTE]  
+> Some changes may require a device restart
