First ESP program not showing in HA

[rdh8 (Robert DeHate)]

I wrote a simple program to control my pool filler.
But only once in a while does it show in HA.
WiFi is like -40dBm
It does show in ESPhome.
It works just fine, but was wondering if their was a noob mistake.
Thanks,
Robert

How to format your code in forum posts

Spaces at the beginning of the line are critical in yaml, and people trying to help you may want to copy your code so that they can try it out themselves, so please format it correctly when you are posting. Use the preformatted text tool (</> in the edit post toolbar). If it is not immediately visible, it will be in the cogwheel menu. [Code_format] Alternatively you can use three backticks (the key is on the far left, 2nd row on en keyboards) on their own line above and below the code. That i…

What do you mean “show in HA” - exactly where?

I guess that was open ended.
When I go to Overview it simply says Unavailable.
But I can see it in ESPhome.
Just didn’t know if it was something I didn’t put in my yaml file.
