After adding an `api:` line to your esphome configuration

ESPHome

When I came to add my discovered node (in Home Assistant - Integrations - ESPHome sonoff_box) a message in red was

Can’t connect to ESP. add api: line to your configuration
esphome%20message

Happily this message has gone away - everything works well (thanks to everyone)

HOWEVER in the documentation for the Native API I read the line below. So I got wondering which file actually needed the api: line - I think you mean the node configuration. I don’t think you mean configuration.yaml.

After adding an api: line to your esphome configuration you can go to the Home Assistant web interface and navigate to the “Integrations” screen in the “Configuration” panel.

You put it in the configuration of your Esphome device.

The above line is correct though, it doesn’t say configuration.yaml. its says your esphome configuration
