ESPHome connection with hidden SSID

ESPHome
1

Hi, I am trying to connect a Wemos D1 Mini with ESPHome to a hidden SSID. I have used multiple options like “hidden: true” and enabled fastconnect to make it happen. However, it’s not working. When I hide the SSID, the Wemos D1 Mini cannot be connected to the SSID. The configuration in ESPHome is looking like this:

wifi:
  ssid: "XYZ"
  password: !secret WIFI_Password
  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 192.168.3.6
    gateway: 192.168.3.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0

My question is if somebody has found a solution for this. Can you please help me? Thanks in advance for your support.

you need fastconnect, but it isn’t in your config.
