Need help deleting ESPHome devices

Hi all,

I am trying to delete an ESPHome device, but the Delete option is greyed out

Any idea as to how I can resolve this, and delete the device ?

Thanks in advance

Do it from the ESPHome Builder menu on the left.

I can’t, because I run both HA and ESPHome Builder in Docker containers - so ESPHome Builder is not integrated within HA

Ah. No clue then. Sorry!

Found it

I went into the ESPHome main item, and it listed the devices within it and I could then click the 3 dots there

Go back to the Settings > Devices and Services screen. Instead of clicking on the link that says something like 3 devices (below the ESPHome logo), click on the actual ESPHome logo. That’ll give you a different looking screen where you can delete the device by opening the menu with the three dots.
