So in the past, I used ESPhome and builder, but I have been out of it for a while.
I just reinstalled ESPhome Builder, but it does not want to build devices.
Even if I make a brand new empty device, it hangs on ‘INFO Installing tools via idf_tools.py (this may take several minutes)…’
I already cleared all files. Also it does not matter if I install via wireless, or local, so it only build the firmware. it always hangs here.
Any suggestions? I used to have a full local ESPhome on my previous laptop, but I was thinking doing it easy this time with the ESPhome builder
Which is running on a RasPi 4 with SSD drive rather then SD card, so not extremely fast, but in one of my attempts I let it sit for hours.
