ESPHome Device Builder not work

ESPHome
1

Hello,

i have installed the ESPHome Device Builder over “Settings=>Add-ons=>ESPHome Device Builder”.
After start the ESPHome Addon with “Display on sidebar” and click on sidebar “ESPHome Builder” is nothing show. After few minutes display Error “add-on is not yet ready”.

On the Portainer, i have see the esphome-container is no network parameter like grafana, influxdb …

Where could the problem lie?

Best regards Mario

I would start with restarting base system where HA and other stuff runs - so, either restart Pi, MiniPC, VM… (not just HA restart!). This often helps.

Hello,
base system is restart.
The docker container from esphome (see in portainer) has no ip address an no port.
In tasklist from base system is running esphome (ps -A)

You can see the logs in add-ons. What does it say?

Hello on all,

after many searching and reading i have found the reason of “not working”, better not reachable:

The firewall blocks the dashboard port, on my config is 64116.
Found this in “usr/share/home assistant OS/homeassistant/.storage/esphome.dashboard”

After add the port to allowed ports is showing the dashboard in homeassistant.

best regards Mario
