MULTIPLE ESP32s

1

Can’t find any info on line, but what is the procedure for adding a second or third ESP32 to my Home Assistant. I need the bluetooth coverage throughout my building. thanks in advance

It should be autodiscovered and if not then just add the ESPHome integration again with the new device.

3

how can I confirm the auto discovery? Where will it show up?

Another Question Justone

Do I need to do the esphome upload via USB as well? If so, do I need to rename it?

Not sure I follow the last question, but essentially, you will create a new ESPHome device over USB w/unique name. mDNS is used, unless otherwise configured, to locate the device by the HA Integration.

Once it’s picked up by ESPHome add-on, you’ll be able to perform further configurations and updates over the air.

So, yes, a unique name should be chosen.

PERFECT/FANTASTIC…thanks for the assist guys

You seemed so knowledgable that I want to throw something else at you. My ESPs keep going off line and I cannot get them back on line. I see them on my router and I can ping them with no issue.

thoughts?
