I’ve spent all day trying to install the Apollo Air 1. I keep running different error messages Each time I install. At first I was getting this error message ‘‘idf_tools.py installation failed’’ I tried reinstalling Python on the host machine with The recommended version and a certain check box selected. Then II updated Home Assistant and Home Assistant core and did a reset.
After that I completely uninstalling ESP Home dev with files, restarted and then went directly into The install process With the Apollo Air One in factory state. This time I got this result.
