It would be helpful if you could post the version of ESPHome you are using, whether this is on a standalone system or the ESPHome Addon for Home Assistant, and what you are doing that is generating that error. If you’re compiling some YAML to deploy on a device, the YAML would be helpful. Otherwise we’re just guessing.

2025.6.3
didnt know u could run esphome outside of home assistant

and no not compiling i just boot home assistant

and i have 54 esphome devices so i have no idea this error always pops up last few versions of home assistant and i dunno whats depreciated

4

so u want all 54 yaml files then?

also thats why i saying the error is not very helpful cuz now we guessing on what esp device is causing it or multiple devices wish it gave more info

i did try posting 2 weeks ago on the esphome github but no reply on there so i been stuck trying to figure out what to look for

It looks like it’s just a warning - does it affect anything?

If not then just assume the devs will fix it before the package is depreciated.

I believe it has been noted as an issue, link below. I do not believe it is specific to espHome code, rather a version change issue with the Google protobuf libraries, which are extensively used well beyond Home Assistant.

oh ok so nothing to worry about then as i couldnt figure out which of my devices causing the issue etc
