I get the same error when trying to update since updating to HA 2025.12
I think I accidentally “took control” of my HA voice PE device, and until this release I could update the device through my ESP Home Builder.
The yaml code used in ESP Home is this:

substitutions:
  name: home-assistant-voice-0911d3
  friendly_name: Ha voice LR
packages:
  Nabu Casa.Home Assistant Voice PE: github://esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/home-assistant-voice.yaml

esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:
  encryption:
    key: AqWIOxVehj3oCGZdkP8S1EjUAZJ1gxBUom7TjtAgqE8=


wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
4

to update with device builder you must take control.

i use the default image

what error do you receive

It stopped working after the last update of esphome builder.I use the firmware from Nabu casa and I have never changed anything in the yaml

This is the output I get when I try to run the update:

The error explains that you need to add “http_request” component

Not sure why it is required now. These did not require before.
You may get more errors but that should take care of that one

If you take control and only want to overwrite a few keys, you might have this in your config:

packages:
  Nabu Casa.Home Assistant Voice PE: github://esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/home-assistant-voice.yaml

Which imports the default config (this file):

And in the latest release this was added beside a lot other lines:

sendspin:
  id: sendspin_hub
  task_stack_in_psram: true
  kalman_process_error: 0.01

media_source:
  - platform: sendspin
    id: sendspin_source
  - platform: http_request
    id: http_source
    buffer_size: 500000

What seems to be missing is the include of the referenced http_request platform like shown in the post from @tmjpugh.

To me, this looks like a bug in this default config.

Ah well, should have looked at the issues:

Wasn’t aware of home-assistant-voice.factory.yaml.
But given the fact that “taking control” seemed to add this line automatically, this problem will pop up for many people I guess.

It works now.Thanks for help
