Hello,
I am trying to use ESP32-S3 DevKitC-1 V1.0 from espressif. I have trouble to add this as a new device into ESPHome, because there is no option to select the device from the list of ESP32 devices.
I tried other ESP32 options and I am getting error regarding the wrong chip version during flash.
If there is any solution for that, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
that board is a “classic” esp32 and will most likely not work with a esp32-s3 which is different.
One can try something like this:
esp32:
variant: esp32s3
board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1look at this link below, it something to try. rstu hasn’t told us what ones they have tried so it a suggestion that just could work.
You get an “unknown board type” error if you use
board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
I get the same error, I’ve been scratching my head all day trying to get the ESP32-S3 wroom 1 chips i ordered to work with esphome.
hope someone figures this out… I have tried many things but no go
@rstu @Zetta @whyjguy @harfordhawk
try this
esp32:
board: nodemcu-32s
framework:
type: arduino
or this
esp32:
board: nodemcu-32s
framework:
type: arduino
version: 2.0.0
or this the latest version
esp32:
board: nodemcu-32s
framework:
type: arduino
version: 5.1.1
or this
esp32:
board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1
framework:
type: esp-idf
version: recommended
more info here
just tried all those and get the same error every time. “Configuration does not match the platform of the connected device. Expected an ESP32S3 device.”
esp32:
board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
framework:
type: esp-idf
platform_version: 4.4.0
variant: esp32s3
or
esp32:
board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
framework:
type: arduino
version: 2.0.3
platform_version: 5.1.0
variant: esp32s3
trying those same result… thanks, I am now erasing the flash to see if something else is up
nothing working… I guess will wait until esphome supports this board
Bummer … good luck… sorry I could help 
Watching this, as I have the same issue with a Liligo T-Display-S3 (ESP32-S3R8 chip), except for me the error says:
“Configuration does not match the platform of the connected device. Expected an ESP32 device.” even though I specified esp32-s3-devkitc-1 or any of the others mentioned here.
Where can I find the logging that shows what happens during the detection of the board before flashing?
esp32:
board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1 #https://registry.platformio.org/platforms/platformio/espressif32/boards
framework: #https://registry.platformio.org/tools/espressif/toolchain-xtensa-esp32s3
type: arduino
version: 2.0.3
platform_version: 5.2.0 #https://registry.platformio.org/platforms/platformio/espressif32
variant: esp32s3
this worked for me in a sense that esphome builds and there are no crc errors after uploads, but it hangs on
[18:08:32][C][uart.arduino_esp32:077]: Setting up UART...
even with
logger:
level: DEBUG
baud_rate: 0
as I’m actually using uart in my config
Oh, I see now
https://docs.ai-thinker.com/en/esp32s3
uart:
baud_rate: 9600
tx_pin: 43
rx_pin: 44
This builds and connects to network, i still need to test uart connection working, but it seems it should.
It seems to work better when you connect the device to the HA node itself, not to the remote PC. This way I was able to flash the device and got it working with the board config @evlo is also using (albeit I used platform_version 5.0.0)

I succeeded with the below, compiled on ESPHome installed on my Mac:

btw: there is no way (I cannot see I mean) to directly connect this board (S3) to ESPHome. So what I did is: compiled the above code, downloaded the bin file and uploaded it manually to S3. Once there, any further update (OTA) was wireless and working fine.
thanks well that worked!.. I am still trying to get into this T-Display-S3 – LILYGO® and use it, but I can’t understand the display config needed, but I am much further along now. thanks
I have the same board, have you made any progress on it?
