ESP32 C3 working from arduino ide but not esphome?

ESPHome
1

I have this board:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006165377284.html

In the arduino ide if I select LOLIN C3 Mini as the board type it works perfectly.

This appears to resolve to the following id:
https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/boards/espressif32/lolin_c3_mini.html

esphome:
  name: t-esp32-c3
  friendly_name: t-esp32-c3
  
esp32:
  board: lolin_c3_mini
  framework:
    type: arduino

However, when I attempt to use esphome with it the flash appears to work, but it doesnt boot properly. All that shows in the log is:

ESP-ROM:esp32c3-api1-20210207
Build:Feb  7 2021
rst:0x15 (USB_UART_CHIP_RESET),boot:0xd (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
Saved PC:0x40380836
SPIWP:0xee
mode:DIO, clock div:1
load:0x3fcd6100,len:0x438
load:0x403ce000,len:0x918
load:0x403d0000,len:0x24e4
entry 0x403ce000

Switching to esp32-c3-devkitm-1 yields the same result.

Any ideas what else I should try or is this board incompatible with esphome?

TIA,

Did you try esp-idf?

@jamesAAA123 I found adding an output_power line worked with lolin_c3_mini

wifi:

  output_power: 8.5
