ESPhome - This add-on is not compatible with the processor of your device

Hi all,

I am super lost. I updated my ESPhome and HA without doing much research first time in years. Now I cannot access ESPhome anymore as its says…

This add-on is not compatible with the processor of your device…
see below.

I am running this on a Raspberry pie 4 Model B.

Can anybody give me some advice if I should change out the Raspberry pie or if this is a version issue between HA and ESPhome?

ESPhome 2025.3.0
Home Assistant Core 2025.3.1
Home Assistant Operating System 10.5

I am super lost and need to reprogram my ESPhome devices and cant access them anymore.
At this stage i am scared to update anything anymore so I didnt go further with the HA core and OS updates. Do they have to be at the latest version for it to work with ESPhome 2025.3.0?

Any help is super appreciated!

could be this:

Removal of armv7 support¶
ESPHome no longer supports the 32-bit armv7 architecture. This is due to both waning support as it relates to tooling and performance reasons. We strongly recommend moving to a more modern architecture, especially if you’re using the ESPHome Device Builder to build/compile firmware for your devices.

Are you using the 32-bit version of the OS?

If you are unsure, from a command line type docker info and hit enter. Look for architecture. What are you running home assistant on?

Thanks do you mean Am I running 32bit version of OS of the pie4? or Homeassistant? Sry I am a bit lost :wink:

how and where do I do the command line? within HA or I need to access the Rpie itself and type it there?


I guess this makes it clear that I am running 32bit right?

So i just update the Rpie OS to 64-bit and reinstall HA on it and it should work?

Yes, I didn’t realize that it was displayed there. The pi4 can run the 64bit version. Unfortunately you will need to reinstall home assistant. You will need a backup recent backup stored off the pi to restore.

Yes. But don’t forget to make a full backup beforhand and make sure restoring from that backup works! You will most probably loose all your data when updating the OS!
