Host name for the esphome addon

Configuration

I’m trying to install the esphome integration. The addon is up and running. When I setup the integration I get to this screen

But I don’t know what the host of the esphome node is. The addon set it up for me.

You misunderstood. :slight_smile:

The Host in this case is the IP address of your ESPHome device, not the add-on. :slight_smile:

In a perfect world, this is running like this:

  • ESPHome add-on install
  • Configuring the first firmware for a device in ESPHome add-on
  • Flash the device with the ESPHome add-on
  • After a restart of that device (automatically), you can now do two things
    • Wait for the ESPHome integration to discover your new device automatically (can take a few minutes)
    • Go to the integrations page and add the device manually. That’s what your screenshot shows. Here you have to get the IP address of that device and put it in.
  • The ESPHome integration found your device and added it to HA.

Hoe this helps! :slight_smile:
