ESPHome configuration example to create an animated clock using the Neopixel 60 LED ring

esphome_neopixel_clock_effect.yaml

Moved to https://github.com/markusressel/ESPHome-Analog-Clock

In all normal use cases you don't need to install anything when running ESPHome except esphome itself. Your only input is the yaml file which declares what you want to use and the ESPHome build process will take care of all the dependencies. Don't try to make things more difficult than they are, my advice would be:

1. Really follow the "Getting started" steps on the esphome website (don't invent other steps, really follow what's explained there with the first simple example and get that working)
2. Maybe join one of their platforms if you still have questions, this here is not a general esphome support page

Nothing in the "Getting Started" section that states if the neopixel libraries come pre-installed. That is what I was asking about since this topic was about creating a clock using neopixels and esphome.
