Cant connect ESP Device

ESPHome
1

Hi, I’m pulling my hair out with this one… got some ESP8266’s and they wont connect through ESP Home. They simply dont show up when I try add new devices. If I connect them to Raspberry Pi port without pressing flash button, or pressing flash button they dont show up. No problems with USB cable…

If I use the ESP Web Tool to flash them then HA does discover them, however they only show up in devices and not the actual ESPHome addon. I need to add the code etc through the addon

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Is the yaml file in /config/esphome?

Nope… nothing in config folder relating to esp home. I’ve tried reinstalling both standard and beta versions

Then create that directory and put your yaml file there.

I have exactly the same issue and getting crazy right now. Did you find any solution?

EDIT…
Open Terminal

Enter:

cd config

mkdir esphome

then it should work
