Does the PC that ESPHome Builder is running on have a connection to the internet?

3

yes and yes. Current solutions is to restore the latest backup. So unsure how to proceed with the upgrade. PS. ESP Home and HA is running on single machine

Then if it isn’t a known issue (check the GitHub repository) you may have a DNS issue.

Got a very similar error with all my esp-idf based devices since 2025.9.1. Haven’t seen a corresponding GitHub issue yet. The ESPHome Builder does have an internet connection (and Arduino framework based esphome devices build without issues). Also HA and ESPHome are running on the same machine (RPI5). Cleaning the build also didn’t resolve it.

Hello

It doesn’t always work, but you said it’s after an update. Select the clean build files and try again. No guarantees it will work but it won’t hurt anything.

7

Unfortunately cleaning the build files did not yield different results.

You might want to ask here…

Known issue -- git rev-parse returned 'fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /) · Issue #9966 · esphome/esphome · GitHub

Workaround is uninstalling the ESPHome addon and installing it back (device configs should be kept).

Now if I could only figure out where the delete button is…

From github.Qhilm: Settings > Add-Ons > ESPHome Device Builder > Uninstall

What if I lose all my devices?

13

Your devices are in config/esphome. Nothing stops you from making a backup.

14

I’m not sure if the esphome directory will be deleted after removing the add-on and reinstalling it?

15

No it won’t

16

There is a button/slider in the pop-up window that appears when you select “Uninstall” as described above: Settings > Add-Ons > ESPHome Device Builder > Uninstall

So, as long as you do NOT select that, your data will stay on the system and available as soon as you reinstall it.

Thank you for this! I was having the same issue and had been pulling my hair out trying to troubleshoot it until I found this thread.

Uninstalling the ESPHome add-on and re-installing it worked like a charm. No loss of any device configs; everything was right as rain after reinstalling the add-on.

Thanks!

18

Same issue here after the update removing and re-installing worked. Thanks for info I was going nut trying figure out what was wrong

19

just had same issue with beta, will try reinstasll

21

thank you it works make backup first

Uninstall and reinstall of esphome worked in my HA instance. However the toolchain didn’t properly reinstall during my first compilation. I had to stop the addon and restart, then recompile. Unknown reason why., but compilation works!
