Home Assistant Device Builder update not available in UI

I’ve been working to get an ESPHome BLE_ADV Bluetooth Proxy back online after some recent released updates.

My system is an HA green:

  • Installation method Home Assistant OS
  • Core 2025.10.1
  • Supervisor 2025.10.0
  • Operating System 16.2
  • Frontend 20251001.0

One of the updates required that I serial update an ESP32 Atom mini to allow for new partitioning. Got that done, but now there seems to be a compatibility issue with ESPHome/Device Builder when I try to compile/Install the YAML config.

ESP32 Device info:
bluetooth-proxy
by esphome
Firmware: 25.8.2 (ESPHome 2025.8.2)

The Error messages I get from Device builder:

INFO ESPHome 2025.6.3
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/esp32-bluetooth-proxy-9f7c50.yaml…
Failed config

packages: [source /config/esphome/esp32-bluetooth-proxy-9f7c50.yaml:5]

Failed to load packages. Current ESPHome Version is too old to use this package: 2025.6.3 < 2025.8.0.
esphome.bluetooth-proxy: github://esphome/bluetooth-proxies/esp32-generic/esp32-generic.yaml@main

This kind of leads me to suspect that the ESPHome device builder which is at 2025.6.3 needs to be updated. However, no update option shows up in the add-on, and no version shows up in the store listing. So I removed the add-on and hit the store to reinstall as some threads recommend. But the version showing up in the store is still 2025.6.3. I can see from digging that the real current Device Builder version is 2025.9+. I’m not sure how to accomplish that at this point. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

Check your repository is correct - should be https://esphome.io.

And of course reboot the host - always a good idea for this kind of issues.

I checked my Add On Store and https://esphome.io was not listed as a repository. When I tried to add it i received an error.

Cmd(‘git’) failed due to: exit code(128) cmdline: git clone -v --recursive --depth=1 --shallow-submodules – https://esphome.io /data/addons/git/64a7cfe9 stderr: 'Cloning into ‘/data/addons/git/64a7cfe9’… fatal: repository ‘https://esphome.io/’ not found

Is that the wrong place to add it? If so, where should I add it?

I had done a host restart a day earlier to try to recover from my HA core updates not showing up. The restart resolved that problem, but the Device Builder update did not show up at that point.

The repository listed here did not show up in my Add-On store, so I tried adding it. I got the same error as Michael above. I also tried adding the Repo URL listed in the ESPHome web documentation. Same message. But oddly enough, something in that process cleared whatever was blocking the update from showing up. The Device builder Update showed up and has now been applied.

Thanks for the assistance,

Bill

I checked mine again and the add-on appears twice, so I probably gave you a bum steer as obviously mine is broken too. I guess I’ll leave it alone as it’s working fine. :grinning:

It should be https://github.com/esphome/home-assistant-addon. And this should be included as one of the default repositories in the add-on store (i.e. not listed in custom repositories).
