Can someone confirm that the update 2024.6.2 released yesterday solves the problem ?
It’s not a problem, it is just something that needs to be done.
I mean if Dallas temp sensors are working again…
Sorry I thought you were talking about the ota thing.
My 2 Dallas sensors are back working with 2024.6.2
Have you seen a temperature shift like this? Dallas temp, DS18B20, shows lower temperature after update - #8 by Lars_Eriksson
Not that I can see yet as my sensors went offline when I updated to 2024.6.0 on the 20th, at around 12. I’ll keep an eye on the graph today, you can just see it working again on the RHS
Cheers for the info…
I’ve stuck with the latest version and working through the issues.
I’m just getting this error when I recompile my config…?
any advice?

Just tried to update OTA 2024.6.3 and getting this error now…
Failed config

Only one instance of the esphome ota platform is allowed per port. Note that this error may result from OTA specified in packages.

<<<<<<<<< EDIT 1 >>>>>>>>>
I was able to get update to install by removing
ota:
platform: esphome
<<<<<<<<< <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I just added this “OTA platform: esphome” for the last update(2024.6.2), now remove it for this update(2024.6.3).
P.S. - I did read breaking changes, but didn’t see this.

Is the password the local wifi password ?
Dallas sensors have been fixed with 2024.6.3 release. Using last 5 hours with no issue.

No. It is the password you use to protect over the air updates from nefarious sources.
Thanks for the information. Really helpful!
Thanks to all who’ve posted here! My update to 2024.6.4 went smoothly, including the OTA and Dallas one-wire changes. Without the guidance here, it would have been a mess. The documentation was as clear as mud. Detailed information here, especially working examples, saved the day.
Cheers from one of those who don’t read stuff Nick

Thanks for all the infos. I just updated to esphome 2024.6.4 release. The OTA thingy worked fine. I have been splitting the esphome config YAML files for some time now, i.e. using the packages statement within the toplevel files to include common yaml files. For example, the WIFI- , OTA- reboot-button and other parts are stored in common.yaml, because these parameters are the same for all ESP devices, only the device_name and static_ip need to be configured. This means that the effort for the OTA thingy has been reduced in editing just one single file.
However, there is another problem with the release. The http_request component got a breaking change. This github PR gives some information, but it took me hours to find out the steps to do.
- The get_string method was removed , i.e. the lambda code has to be modified to access the received data → github discussion
- The
http_request.getwas broken. It looks like there is no real solution yet → github discussion.
I go the error-message [http_request.arduino:119]: Content-Length: -1 as well. Then the ESP just hangs, and have to be reseted.

Does the beken chips also carry platform: esphome change under OTA?
As far as I can see in the docs it works the same on every micro.
I’ve got 50 devices, so I figured if I’d have to hit them all, I’d use it as an opportunity to try and standardize some basic sensors on them all and some basic configs and pull the identical items out into a separate document that can be referenced instead and most importantly to make it so if another change like this is made in the future, I won’t need to manually edit 50 devices (likely more by the time it happens) and can just edit a couple text files and ‘update all’ and be done with it.
Before the most I had was the SSID & WiFi Password in secrets … I didn’t have fallback APs set, connection status, MAC Addresses, IP Addresses (I found that while I was manually making these updates, I’d occasionally forget to change the IP address when updating and having it the the MAC as a sensor just made it a bit easier to find the mistake when I made it).
I had to do a ton of troubleshooting and testing and ran into some roadblocks using includes (without packages) and such that wouldn’t work if you had (for example) a binary sensor in both your baseline that’s being included and in the device config, so that was a no-go for me.
There were a ton of posts on here that I basically cherrypicked bits and pieces from to come to a solution that worked for me.
I think I only separated WiFi because that’s what someone else did … realistically, if I were doing it again, I’d probably condense that down into the one file instead, but that’ll require me to re-edit all 50 devices again, so that’s not likely to happen … even with a quick script to edit all the files to remove the single line, it’s still not worth even the 5-10 minutes it’d take.
So, this is how I did it, to hopefully be able to help the next person who wants to do something similar … hopefully they’ll pay it forward as well and share what they find to help the next person even more!
I’ve been using ESPHOME since long before it became owned by Home Assistant (and waaaay before it came into the Open Home), so, there is bound to be some ‘cruft’ in here … modify for your purposes as you see fit, but hopefully it’ll give you a place to start if you want to do something similar! I posted basically everything since I always hate filling in gaps from what other people post … here, you’ve got everything that worked for me and you can pull as you need.
Sorry for the freaking book I wrote above.

OK, my ESPHOME zoo is not that big but it is growing 
Beside the common.yaml and the esp32_base.yaml files I have created a kind of template yaml, e.g. for shelly and sonoff devices. After that the top level yaml looks very clear.
All these include-yaml files are stored in a subdirectory like so, then they don’t appear as dummy devices at the Esphome GUI.
/esphome/config <-- all the device yamls
/esphome/config/lib <-- the template yamls to inlcude
OK it is a little editing but afterwards the final single device needs just some lines of yaml code, e.g. a Shelly 1 plus, all you have to edit is a device_name and an ip-address. Easy peasy for additional shellys.

I have just one more point. Since remembering to update every esphome device was a bit annoying, I installed esphome on my local machine instead of the HA server. Since then I have been generating everything from the commandline. Downloading a new esphome release from github and also the generation is much faster, and above all I don’t disturb the productive system with compiling and uploading the devices. In addition, I can finally see what the generated source code looks like. I find this very useful, especially when generating lambda code. I’m going crazy in the docker context, it’s all hidden.
