Hi,
I tried to follow your instructions, but something wrong happened. it shows "Adafruit_I2CDevice.h: No such file or directory" It has been a long since I have been stuck in. Can you help to tackle it? I'm running the ESPHome version(2021.12.4)

First: THANK YOU for an excellent YAML example and the work you did to get this working in ESPHome!

I found that I needed to add an 'includes' statement and point to the custom/mlx90614.h file in order to get the code to compile in ESPHome using your latest YAML example. You had this 'includes' statement in the original YAML file, but it was missing from the updated example. Once I added it in, everything worked! Woohoo!

FYI: I used an ESP32 in the D1 Mini format, and it's working great! Nice job!

I think the reason why you were getting the error about the adafruit library is because of the hyphens in between the words in your include.

This didn't work for me:

 libraries:
  - adafruit/Adafruit-MLX90614-Library

But this did:

 libraries:
  - adafruit/Adafruit MLX90614 Library

Maybe because there are no hyphens here

ESPHOME on HomeAssistnt.

During compile kept getting issues about SPI not being found.
needed to add
#include <SPI.h>
tot he top of the .h file you provided. After that good to go!
