I am new to ESPHome so apologies if these are already known things.
What does “stop” mean to imply, on the modal screen you see when flashing new YAML to the ESP32?
Mentally I was kind of waiting for “Stop” to say “Close” or something less destructive. It seems to me that flashing the ESP successfully, even when complete, the button still says “Stop”. This makes me hesitant to click it because I want to wait for it to complete successfully.
I’m wondering if after the flashing is done if it should say “Close”?
You are looking a terminal showing the output of a process. Stop closes the terminal.
The button to do so does not know the state of what happens inside the terminal, so it cannot change the button label to reflect what the effect would be of closing the terminal.
But what you see is logging output, so the flashing is done and the esp is working.
