Potential API issues

ESPHome
1

Hi have been working on a Shelly 1L to move it over ESPHOME and this morning made a change where i lost the orignal API encryption key so I reflashed it but since then I’ve been having some issues with the unit. I am getting the following errors in my log file:

[13:20:52][D][api.connection:917]: Home Assistant 2022.11.5 (192.168.86.12): Connected successfully

The code I have pulled together is as so:

substitutions:
  device_name: "Shelly 1L Entrance"
  max_temp: "70.0"

  # after reboot, keep the relay off. this prevents light turning on after a power outage

              condition:

                  - switch.is_on: shelly_relay
              # toggle smart light if wifi and api are connected and relay is on
              then:
                - homeassistant.service:
                    service: light.toggle

                      entity_id: light.nue_downlight_entrance_light
              # else, toggle relay
              else:
                - switch.toggle: shelly_relay
    id: button

If I hit the relay switch in the controls section of the device it just flicks back on and the same goes for the actions in the ESP web page, it just dosent seem to be happy.

Just a guess because I don’t use encryption with my api: keyword. Try removing encryption: and key:

Thanks for the suggestion, I had a go at that but I’m getting the following errors in the log file now:

Delete the device from Home Assistant. Restart Home assistant (probably not required but do it to cover all bases).

Re-flash the device with the new encryption key.

Re-add the device to Home Assistant.

Store the encryption key in a password manager.

Thanks both for your help. So I have managed to fix the issue. as suggested the steps were:

  • Delete from HA
  • Remove the encryption from the config file and reflash
  • Readd to HA

No need to restart HA
