This morning I updated to version 1.19.4 of the ESPHome plugin in Home Assistant. As of this version, the Log link that appears under each device in the ESPHome dashboard, which normally pops open a status window, no longer works. I was concerned that this was a browser issue because I have several privacy addons, but the problem persists in all browsers, on mobile, and even in the HA app.
I’m fortunate in that the device I just built seems to work as expected, but I prefer to be able to test the functionality in the log window before adding a device to Home Assistant.
Am I the only person experiencing this problem? I’ve searched but I don’t see anyone else reporting it.
So it’s working at least in one of your browsers? That’s good.
The android app can be picky sometimes. You need to clear the cache in the app as well.
What I did was terminating the app (from apps menu on the phone) and directly afterwards did a restart of the phone. If this doesn’t help, reset the app data and restart the phone. You won’t loose much, it’s only the IP address and your login credentials.
Hi @stevemann, the solution is further up the thread, but here you go.
On desktop Chrome, press F12.
On desktop Firefox, go to Settings > Privacy and Security, scroll down, and click Clear Data. Make sure you select Cached Web Content.
On Android, pull down from the top of the screen to reveal the Settings icon (little gear). Tap that, and then select Apps. Scroll down until you see Home Assistant. Tap that, tap Storage, and then tap Clear Data.
All of these options will require you to log into Home Assistant again, so have your password ready.
