Total beginner here, so sorry in advance if this is a stupid question or if there is anything important missing from this description. I’m happy to provide any additional information needed.
I recently got into home automation using Homeassistant on a Raspberry Pi and wanted to connect two ESP8266 chips using ESPHome. I got two cheap clones, one of a D1 Mini and one of a NodeMcu (v3.4, if that matters). I set them up using the ESPHome plugin within Home Assistant and started by simply connecting them to my wifi. The flashing appears to have worked identically in both cases and both chips are displayed as online:
Even though both chips seem to be online, I can only connect to the D1 Mini. If I try to access the NodeMcu I just get timeout errors:
When flashing the device using the ESPHome Flasher it says that the connection to the router worked:
[09:25:15][I][app:058]: setup() finished successfully!

I can also ping the device, so I would assume that it actually is connected?
I already tried setting a static IP (as is recommended in the ESPHome guide), but I got the same exact result. I am kind of lost here and couldn’t really find any similar cases on the various support forums. Again, super sorry if this is a silly question - as stated before, I just got started with all of this and this is actually my first Arduino/ESP8266 project. So any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
