Hi,
I did some network changes, mainly moved unifi AP to openwrt. Also changed my TrueNAS from FreeBSD to Linux, which might affect how bridging works to Fediot VM running HA with podman on Truenas. I recall ESPhome uses some own protocol.
So quite many changes, any idea which might affect why HA all the sudden doesn’t offer the remote control buttons anymore. The device itself works fine while using over http. The ESPHome config is here:
Nothing changed in HA or ESPhome. Ideas?
This is what I get from host linux bridge by using tcpdump for esphome ip:

I dunno where the .local comes from, my domain is .ikenet. Does this give any clue to anyone?
do’h, the damned thing disappeared due ip change. I deleted the device from HA, and re-added it with fqdn, hopefully it now stays.
