Screek 2A -- how to set it up?

I just got three Screek 2A and have never used them (or any presence sensor) before.

I was able to get it connected to my wifi by connecting my iphone to the Screek’s wifi SSID.

But I can’t get it into HA.

I followed the instructions, but they basically say that HA will discover a new device – my HA does now.

I see it received an IP of 192.168.2.158 from my DHCP server. Browsing to that IP does not result in a successful connection. The device has no open ports.

How do I proceed?

Thank you.

Did you install the ESPHome integration first?

Thanks – that did it.

I did not have esphome integration set up, but I did have an esphome add-on installed, so I thought that was the integration I was supposed to have.

And, when I had tried to install the integration it asked for a host. I tried the ip of the HA server, but that didn’t work. So I put in the IP of the device and it works.

Now I have to figure out how to use it. I see it created a bunch of sensors.

Thanks again!

Not sure how putting in the IP of the device makes sense since you will have many devices, I have eight.

What device’s IP should be put in the host field?

I’ve actually been wondering that too since I wrote that post. I did some Googling but it all refers to the IP of your ESP32 device. I can’t really check on my setup because the integration is already added. So maybe ignore my advice.

Are you sure you tried the static IP address of your home assistant server?

I did.

When I get a chance, I’ll add another device using the same method and hopefully the ESPhome integration will simply say “2 devices” instead of showing 2 integrations.

Just added a second Screek 2A, entered the device’s (the 2nd Screek 2A) IP address and it added the device as another device under the esphome integration:
