Other users who also get the same error as you. Some suggests reinstalling the addon. However, if want to do a reinstall, don’t forget to backup your esphome file in the /config directory.
Just maybe, try restarting HA host before reinstall.
@ardysusilo, thanks had done a re-start already (first port of call for alot of issues), but the re-install worked, which is great. I did do the back of the configs, but the re-install didn’t need any action there as the configs were picked up no problem. Thanks again for the advice.
I’ve also run into this issue after restores.
I’m assuming there may be something cached in the config after restore and it doesn’t get flushed out. So ESPHome looks for the directory that does not exist.
