Connected device, pingable but offline in ESPHome!? 🤔

ESPHome
1

I was making some changes to my Atom Echo code and although it’s online, the ESPHome device builder shows it as offline.
The device has a fixed IP, is pingable, responds to voice commands and other devices are online.

Strange thing: HA shows .37 as host IP and ESPHome has .60
If I unplug it from power the diagnostic represents this action.

Mdns issue

Unless esphome is set to do so it will Not ping the ip to determine online offline status

It uses mdns

Does it change to online if you adjust the config of esphome?
Had you set a static IP for the device?

Hi guys, it’s solved but I’m a little bit puzzled.

As I mentioned, it had a fixed IP (.37) and I have no clue where that .60 comes from.
I did move it though to another room with another AP/SSID but still on the same subnet.

By changing the IP to .60 in the device builder, I was finally able to upload my changed code.
I don’t really understand how this could happen but maybe someone else does who can enlighten me.
Most important: it’s solved but my curiosity still exists.

@Spiro: I couldn’t upload the code.

Thanks of stepping in!

Code goes into settings/apps/esphome devicebuilder/config in YAML but not in the YAML of the device itself.
