Addon Failure

ESPHome
1

I set up ESPHome a little over a year ago and had no issues and my integration has been working great. I went to add some new devices and tried to open the addon to start a new project and the addon is missing. I reviewed the supervisor logs and it looks like the ESPHome addon is corrupted but I can not find where the data is stored. I have tried to re-install the addon but it just gives me “Add-on not found”. It does not show up in the addons at all under community or official so I can’t uninstall a corrupted version. I’ve searched through the file directories using SSH and can’t find anything related to the addon. All of my other addons work just fine.

Not the answer I like but something somewhere must have been corrupted. I ended up having issues with the entire system a couple weeks later and could not get the HA interface to even load, let alone ESPHome. I’m on VirtualBox. I couldn’t restore a backup from HA since I couldn’t open anything other than the observer web page and I unfortunately hadn’t done a snapshot in a while. I downloaded the latest image and set up a new VM. I tried to restore last backup to get it back to life but it would fail with a useless “unknown” error. Restored from the backup prior to that and I was able to get the system back up. Upon doing this, I was able to re-install ESPHome in the addons with no issues.
