Hi,
So I have an esp8266 with esphome that is showing up as online in the ESPHome panel, but I cannot find any of it’s entites.

Seems to be connected just fine.

Anyone has an idea why?

Did you add it via HA integrations?

You are right, it was not showing up there so I added it manually with the IP and now the entities are working.
But I’m worried that if the IP changes it won’t work anymore, I didn’t have to do that with my other devices.

Sometimes discovery is slow.

You can use the host name or ip address when manually adding (ie you can use water-pump-2.local.

Or you can set the ip to not change.

right, I will do that then, Thanks a lot!
