This device was working properly after initial installation but when initiating an update that that was indicated in ESPHome Builder, the file failed to compile. I have made many attempts to compile in ESPHome Builder and using VS. The ESPHome version is up to date both in HA and on my Windows laptop. The errors seemingly change and at one point the file did finish compiling and installing but the device was unresponsive following the ‘successful install.’
I have subsequently restored the device to factory settings, reloaded ESPHome firmware from the ESPHome web installer, and accepted the new discovery in HA. While everything seems to work within HA as far as changing settings etc., the device no longer responds to voice, no longer displays any lights, and does not respond to the button push. Trying to compile and install the file from ESPHome fails with multiple files apparently missing.

Update: NabuCasa has a support website that allows reinstalling the Voice PE firmware. ( Home Assistant Voice PE I performed the reinstallation and the Voice PE was revived. At the termination of the firmware reinstall, the system asked about updating the device to which I acceded. Once again, the file failed to compile. On examination, I see that the firmware version currently loaded on the Voice PE is 2025.3.3. Any attempt to compile the either 2025.4.1 or 2025.4.2 ends in failure. Compiling either under ESPHome Builder or under Windows using VS always fails.
