Entity not showing up in Home Assistant

ESPHome

I have a D1 mini with a Dallas temp probe configured in ESP Home. I see values populated in the log, but the entity is not created in Home Assistant. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Didn’t you get an error when you tried to add that ESP in Integrations ? as it indicates that api connection has been closed between HA and ESP ! Did you setup a password for API connection ? Please share your whole yaml for better understanding problem !

[solved]
I had to manually add the device to the ESP Home integration (by specifying the IP address of the device in the “host” field.
