Esphome dashboard errors

Hi All,

Having an issue and not sure whats wrong. Attempting to install and start esphome & dashboard on standalone linux box.

In following esphome instructions I have (venv) environment.
esphome version = Version: 2024.2.2
python3 version = 3.11.7
not that I am going to use it but esphome wizard test.yaml starts up fine (testing purpose)
I have run:
pip install tornado esptool
esphome dashboard config/

when I run esphome dashboard config/ home/me/directoryname or varients I get
unrecognized arguments error or
Erno 2 No such file or directory 'home/me/directoryname.

Im reasonably convinced esphome is working but the dashboard command or permission or location is where Im wrong.

Appreciate any advice.

Cheers

I think that should be config/ /home/me/directoryname

hi Nick

I get:

esphome: error: unrecognized arguments: /home/peter/

I have been playing around trying to figure it out. I think the syntax has changed. Try

esphome config /home/peter/whatever dashboard

But I find it hard to find anything definitive. Also it is a long time since I ran esphome outside docker/addons

yep I saw that somewhere when trying to fix this… the result is:

INFO ESPHome 2024.2.2
INFO Reading configuration /home/peter//…
ERROR Error while reading config: Invalid YAML syntax:

Error reading file /home/peter/esphome/projects/: [Errno 21] Is a directory: ‘/home/peter/’

Yeah its like it is looking for a valid esphome yaml file.

OK I think I have it

esphome dashboard /home/peter/whatever
