ESPHOME and home assistant not talking

OK I had to do a fresh install on a flash card because the old one was locking up. I am having fits with ESPHOME. I have it up and running with a yaml file and it is reading temperatures just fine on the integration side, but home assistant is not seeing the sensor. What gives? Please help!

Have you added it via integrations?

Funny that you said that. After deleting the sensor and starting from scratch, restarting ESPHOME, and then restarting Home Assistant, it finally popped up for integration

Man that was a whirlwind just to get it up and running. I tried several times and deleting / starting from scratch was probably the trick.

esphome does not have to be running for esphome flashed devices to run. Restarting esphome will not do anything!

Glad you got it working :slight_smile:
