Try uploading via an usb cable? The failure is about network issues to your esp device, cable would eliminate it.

You can have different issues on your network about mdns, that is a different topic :slight_smile:

Well, indeed using a USB cable worked. But now it installed OK but I cannot update or get the logs wirelessly. Thank you.

I’ll post a new message.

Have you set up the device with a static IP address?

5

No - I have not. Should I make a DHCP reservation or set it elsewhere ? I’m new with ESPHome

— Connection error occurred: Invalid encryption key

is the message I get.

Set up the static IP in the device code in ESPhome like this.

No worries. If you don’t mind, please mark my comment as the solution.
