As shown in the figure, I want to add esphome integration. What should I fill in the host address here? I tried to fill in the access address of esphome, but it didn’t work.
This is where you add ESPHome-based devices, the host address it is looking for is the address of your node/end device on your local network… like a lightbulb, switch, sensor, etc. To find the address you may need to check your router, use a program such as nmap, or an application like AngryIPScanner or Fing.
If you are trying to write ESPHome configurations, that is done using the add-on, not the integration.
To be able doing that you **need to have esphome node (**device) running and reachable from ha in your network.
Typically one can make use the esphome (dashboard) add-on to create the configuration (yaml) for a new device which is then installed (formerly flashed) to a esp.
The gold standard is that the esphome node will then be auto discovered by home assistant (via mdns I reckon) and it is directly offered in the device & services page to add the newly found node.
In case of magical disappearing posts the internet archive got you covered with it’s waybackmachine.
The dialog you have open on the other hand allows manual adding a esphome node (still at the time of adding it needs to be reachable from ha) - the option for the host field can be the mdns hostname (devicename.local
) the normal hostname with local domain (e.g. devicename.lan
) or the ip address with the later should be only used when having a static lease or ip.
