New to ESPHome, unable to install devices/ configure them properly

ESPHome
1

installed esphome addon, added a new device which is a sensor, NodeMCU/ Wemos D1 Mini v2, exactly the one here - Nettigo: Wemos D1 mini V2 WiFi module

Tried all sorts of combinations but the installation always fails.

Even if i try to manually install using the flasher, even the download fails.

Log attached.

I am confused. What are you installing?

3

Never mind the above. I was installing a device, a pir sensor inside ESPHome and it would not install as above. i removed and reinstalled ESPHome and these errors disappeared.

However, now the installation process pauses for 4-5 minutes at

Using noise encryption: NO

and then after that permanently halts at

Boot seems successful, resetting boot loop counter

there is no success message.

However a device is created. But no entity.

My sensor is confusingly called Wemos D1 Mini v2 but images online look like its a Nodemcu device.

Please post your yaml file and the current log files and a photo of your setup. Did you add the device as an integration in HA?

EDIT:

Never mind, solved it. My yaml wasnt proper. All is good now! Thanks for the help everyone.

Other people with similar problems will read this in the future and ask: “Well, how did you fix it?”
