Home Assistant does not detect Wemos D1 mini loaded with ESPHome

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Some time ago I have setup a NodeMCU with ESPHome. The device was listed in the Integration section of Home Assistant and I could integrate the device.

I have now loaded ESPHome on a Wemos D1 mini. The device is working fine (It reports the temperature and humidity every few seconds in the ESPHome log files). The device does get an IP address and it reports it signal strength.

[18:17:39][D][sensor.dht:066]: Got Temperature=27.0°C Humidity=53.0%

This device is not listed in the Integration section of Home Assistant. Is there some step that I have forgotten about?
Is there some way that I can debug the comms between the device and Home Assistant?

Hello, I’m not a professional. The NodeMCU and the Wemos D1 already have different IP addresses? If it were the same IP addresses, that would be the explanation why the Wemos D1 does not appear in the integrations!

Have you actually pressed + on the integrations page and added (esphome) the wemos by host or ip? It won’t show together with your nodemcu and as far as I know it need to be added as its own integration.

you do have the line in your esphome code to setup native integration

Hard to give any help if you don’t provide your yaml or your esphome logs.

Thank you for your suggestion. :100: This is exactly what was needed. I was under the impression that Home Assistant would list the new device, but I had to add it manually by pressing the + button on the integration page and add the device info.
