OTA Component Not Included?

Xplode · July 10, 2022, 11:28pm

First time with ESP Home, so I need a little help.

I’ve got an Emporia Vue2 that I’m trying to get setup on ESPHome and into HA. I have successfully managed to get the firmware built and loaded onto the chip via serial connection, but I want to be able to to do OTA updates once it’s installed in my electrical panel. I can not figure out how to make it work.

I added the ESPHome Add-On in HA, and created my device using the generic yaml file found at Setting up Emporia Vue 2 with ESPHome · GitHub
I modified the first handful of lines to get rid of logging and the api stuff (as per another walkthrough that i found).
Added the 2 lines for ota as below

esphome:
  name: emporiavue2

external_components:
  - source: github://flaviut/[email protected]
    components: [ emporia_vue ]

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: esp-idf
    version: recommended


ota:
  safe_mode: true
  
wifi:
  ssid: "The SSID"
  password: "Password Here"
  fast_connect: true
  ap: {}

When I click “install” and choose the download (I don’t have the ability to flash from my browser) it goes through the motions and then throws a bunch of errors relating to the “otacomponent” and then fails. I am not sure what I’m missing and I just installed the add-on last night, so I’m assuming everything ESPHome is up to date.

Any suggestions? I’ve tried withtout the “safe_mode” line as well and no go.

replace this

ota:
  safe_mode: true

with this

# Over The Air Password (Stops somone on your network accessing files)
ota:
  password: !secret esphome_secret

in the top right in esphome click secrets button and add this

!include ../secrets.yaml

then put the password in your secret.yaml file like this

# ESP Home
esphome_secret: your_password_here

you should do the same for your wifi and it is best to put everything in your “secrets.yaml” file

replace this

wifi:
  ssid: "The SSID"
  password: "Password Here"
  fast_connect: true
  ap: {}

with this

# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
  password: !secret esphome_secret

# Wifi Information
wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

# Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
  ap:
    ssid: "emporiavue2"
    password: !secret fallback_ap_password

then in your secrets.yaml file it should look like this

# Wifi for your network
wifi_ssid: your_wifi_name_here
wifi_password: your_wifi_password_here

# ESP Home
esphome_secret: your_password_here
fallback_ap_password: your_ap_password_here

Well didn’t figure it out explicitly, but deleted the entry in the ESPHome add-on and started from scratch and now it is working. so go figure.

I know that you’ve already fixed the issue, and this is really for anyone else who comes across this in the future.
I had the same issue and figured out what the actual fix was.

In the ESPHome component and the Emporia card, click on the 3 dots and select “Clean Build Files”
This forces the compiler to re-read the yaml and include all the new adds and recompile all the added components.

It’s better than deleting the component and re-adding it
