ESP Noob question here. I’m just starting out with this ESP stuff. I created a small ESP Home configuration file and uploaded it to an ESP12S based development board over USB using the ESP home command line interface on my windows PC. It all seems to work out fine. The entities show up in Home Assistant and even an OTA works from the windows CLI. However I do not see the device in the ESP home plugin in Home Assistant.
Why would that be? Because it was created using the windows CLI? I cannot really create it from within Home Assistant since the USB ports on the RPI are not easily accessible, but I would like to maintain and upgrade it via OTA from within Home Assitant.
