Hello everyone.
I want to change the wifi of my devices and when I enter ESPHome Device Builder I can’t see any device so I can edit their Yaml. Does anyone know what could be happening or how to fix it? Thanks
I have several devices and no one appears
No idea why the devices won’t show up, but you if you have the Samba Add-On installed, you should be able to access yaml-files through your PC at this folder:
\\IP-Address\config\esphome
I you have a secrets.yaml file and used it in the setup of the devices, you might even be able to change the WiFi for all devices in one go by changing the parameters for
wifi_ssid: "SSID"
wifi_password: "PASSWORD"
Thanks for responding. These are the files I have. The devices are all working but after a version reinstallation. I don’t believe that if I change the secret.yaml file there is something on the devices, right? I imagine that the parts that do not appear would have to be recompiled so that they appear again.
Auch… that’s all you have? Where are all your esphome *.yaml files? You say you reinstalled HA? Did you make a backup before doing that? If so, extract your yaml files (from backup’s esphome folder) and put them back and they will reappear. If not… well…then you lost them and you’ll have to write them again…
Note devices shown inesphome builder are NOT the ones connected to HA (these are in integrations - esphome part), but the ones which you have yaml files for.
How did you add your esphome devices to HA?
If you wrote the yaml files in esphome device builder they will show up, if you created them in some other way or they were devices already set up when you bought them you will need to add yaml files to your folder.
In addition to that: if the devices came with pre-built firmwares you may not have the yaml. But in that case I would expect the devices to have a web page to configure them. If you can still get them to connect through the old wifi ssid then try to enter the ip adress in the browser. If not, they may create a wifi access point of their own that allows you to change wifi settings.This would be similar to how you first setup the wifi.
That’s what they told me. I found an old backup where I found the files. I copied them to the folder and it was solved. Thank you very much for the answers.
