Thank you youkorr. I will try it. I appreciate your willingness to help
I’ll report back.

Bummer. Are you trying over wifi or connected directly to your machine? One other idea you could try is build the binary and download it, the. Connect your device at the espome flash site and upload the binary to it. I had some issues jumping from different yaml configs and ended up having to do this method but it works. Just make sure to connect and do the “prepare first time use” option or something along those lines before you flash.
Do you have in your code the following:
esp_adf:
board: esp32s3box3
If so, delete it and try again. I wonder if this is the cause of your error.
First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who tried to help me. I appreciate it! This really is a great community .
Lesson learned:
When you add your device into Home Assistant, don’t change the PORT of the node you’re adding. I made the mistake of thinking that there’s no way that ESPHome knows what port to use on a new device and if I cleared that field, it would use whatever the default was. Boy was I wrong!
So, I left the port alone this time and everything worked great. I installed the yaml that “youkorr” provided and it installed without a hitch.
Again, thank you to everyone and I’m sorry I took up so much of your time with my bonehead mistake.

but for me the most beautiful is modifiable by yourself and the bobbas firmware which I recommend

btw:
has anyone already solved the topic, that the device will be shown as offline in the ESPHomeDashboard?
And that it does not get the ESPHomeUpdates?
Depends. Did you verify esphome is trying to update the device using ip or dns name?
Did you try using use_address?
sorry - it is especially about the firmware shared by @Nir …
with this, the device will be shown like this
Just want to get the new device shown as online / available but don’t know to what this is actually related.
Esphome uses mdns for online status and to get OTA install IP depending on setup.
Using below as example it will check dns for your device IP at iotswitch.local
ESPhome uses name field for the device hostname. “.local” is defualt domain.
esphome:
name: iotswitch
friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
wifi:
domain: ".local"
On linux system you can use dig to check name.domain IP resolution is working or not. If so, maybe device should show online.
If using docker you must use macvlan or host networking for mdns to possibly work.
Alternativly you can set ESPhome to use ping and it will use the static IP that you have set for the device
Can you help us with this screensaver code from the bigbobbas ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome project because there are function errors thank you

In an earlier post, it was suggested that you refer to chapter 11 for instruction about How To Help Us Help You. Step 11 will help you understand how to format you yaml code when such is posted in the forum. Please refer to those instructions then correct your post so we may assist with your issue.

OK I understand and I hope you understand
So let me explain this custom firmware which for me is wonderful works perfectly it has a sleep mode which displays the time and a temperature of the system or another thermometer that you can choose to integrate.
After 30 seconds reduces the brightness from 100% to 30%, after 180 seconds the LCD turns off but the radar as soon as it detects a person the screen saver reactivates at 100% brightness but goes off not turn off after 180 seconds here is the help I would need, of course I can do it automatically but if we can adjust this code would be great I hope to be understood I will provide you with the link it would be easier to understand

THANKS
this installs successfully for me, and then it loses connection with HA and can’t reconnect.
this lil device is great, but dang the firmware can be tough.
well mine doesn’t lose the connection it just had a modification ESPHome 2024.6.0 which is for my part
ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
password: !secret wifi_password
use_address:
ota:
platform: esphome
Is the addition of
logger:
hardware_uart: USB_SERIAL_JTAG
For the screen saver for you it works??
@CChris, this is odd. It is not the case when I update the device. I click on “EDIT”, put the new code, save, then run install via wireless and that it. It doesn’t discover a new instant of the box, just keeps working with the old one. I’m not sure why this is happening. I do use manual IP but I am not sure if this is what it is about. Sorry.
What happens when you update the firmware on the discovered instant? It discovers a new one?
Maybe try to compare the firmware with one which doesn’t cause this issue and see if you can spot the difference.
@youkorr, this is something you should post on BigBobbas’s repository under “Issues” as it may be a bug with his firmware.
I the problem that you I did this before modifying I delete it in the integration I restart esp home is I made my compilation is everything is going well it’s true that it’s a bug to solve

hm… okey, this might be a case related to the host names, etc.
I’ll try to find some time over the weekend to dig deeper into this…
Hey there 
Has anyone already tried to implement the IR Receiver & IR Transmitter?
