After a couple of yaml tweaks, I used OTA and reflashed 3 garage door controllers that have been in use for about a year. I mistakenly flashed this device with the hardcoded IP address of a twin. After that mistake I tried to re-flash the same device with the correct IP. I got a message the OTA connect failed. So I took the laptop to the Garage and connected USB and I can flash the device and with ESPhome it connects to now add all looks good. Pic 1 except when I disconnect the device from the laptop and re-connect to the power supply it stops. Pic 2
Just for grins I tried NodeMCU flasher and did the reset and then the flash with the same results except I needed to press the reset after flashing.
I tried adding “dns1: 192.168.1.1” in a subsequent flash but it didn’t help
Thanks

Later in the day –
I tried flashing the yaml for another working door and get same result.
I did also try changing the IP address and the log does show the new IP address
Using 'COM3' as serial port.
