When I had the password depreciation problems some kind person told me look for the new encrypted key in esphome dash, funny enough there was none, so I did not get it why, till I got answers in this forum and then the obvious struck me, and this could become the next problem howto solve this:
I got told that is the core version not the add-on version.
I run the add-on version since the beginning and now it turns out there is a core version.
Questions.
How do I get this core version running on my raspi 4, I can not find any info on that, or is it only in docker you can do that on another device
How to transition smoothly, so I do not get to loose almost all entities in my HA
where is this core version??? See no mention of it anywhere in ha nor in the store not as third party
please enlighten me and hopefully a few others
Or maybe just update the add-on version of esphome somehow so the great auto update works.
Update all your devices. Validate each config first though. If you are running such an old version of the addon there may be breaking changes you have to fix.
Quite simple, use install seen my webbrowser is not chrome I rather flash them with a flasher on the usb port, via a *.bin file. Easy later on you flash them OTA.
Did remove esphome completely, did a reinstall… yippee latest version now, had to update all my nodes took half a day, removed all API key settings for there was no key generator to be found or a key when you click show api key in esphome.
Tried a bogus key, just andom numbers and characters sure did work, but compiling the code, uploading, runnning it took longer then before so I removed the API keys from all, solved!
