Trying to update to ESPHome 2025.8.0 but fails … seeing the following error in Settings > System > Logs > Home Assistant Core :

[281473151332928] Error during service call to update.install: Error compiling <name_of_device>.yaml; Try again in ESPHome dashboard for more information

First time this has happened updating these devices. Appreciate any clarity of what this is telling me and how to solve it? TIA

So it looks like you’ve already updated the ESPHome add-on and maybe did something like ‘update all’ for your ESPHome devices?

If so, seems like it’s having trouble compiling one (or more) of your device YAML files. Follow the error suggestion and do them one-by-one in the ESPHome add-on to see what the issue is; probably a breaking change that you need to fix in your YAML.

UPDATE …

I’m still relatively new with HA & ESP but managed, with your hint, to discover a change in the yaml was needed from arduino to idf … like so:

> esp32:
>    framework:
>      type: arduino

to

> esp32:
>   framework:
>     type: esp-idf

Upon install, it recompiled everything and now works. Again, thanks.
