espHome Web identifies device, but the connection attempt just times out

I am trying to put espHome onto an arduino nano; it is connected to my computer (not the HAOS computer). From espHome web I click on device, it shows the arduino nano, it says that it is paired; I click prepare for first use; then it shows “Connecting” but this screen just times out and it never connects. I have used different USB ports on the computer, I reset the device but I can’t get it to connect. Any thoughts?

ESPHome is not supported on ATmega328 chipsets - so that may be an issue.

Thank you - I guess I got in over my head because I saw a lot of people on the Discord talking about using the Nano’s on their projects, but they were probably way more skilled and used various work arounds. Thank you so much - I really appreciate the help - I am on the bottom of this latter and this is a great help - I was really getting frustrated :slight_smile:
