Sensor does not show up

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 10:16pm

What am I doing wrong? New D1 wemos and Max 6675
logs show it sending temp, but I cannot find the sensor to add it to lovelace. I am expecting to find sensor.pit_#2
Thanks,
Grey

Do you have this in your esphome device config?

api:

Have you added the device to home assistant?

Go to Settings → Devices & Services and look for a discovered esphome device.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 10:44pm

Thanks,
yes api is there but it does not show new or there

Enable Home Assistant API

api:

zoogara · July 18, 2022, 10:44pm

Looks like api: is specified going on the logs - but the hash (#) symbol is not supported in device ids - if you create an entity with the name “Pit #1” in HA it will give it an id of pit_1. Maybe that is the issue.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 10:45pm

Well I guess not. I thought it just automagicly showed uo

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 10:47pm

@zoogara
this one works but I will try without #configuration Thanks,

Oh well - was worth a try.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 10:53pm

I am prone to make stupid mistakes, but I am not sure what I have done now.

Changed it to Pit 1 , still no findy

zoogara · July 18, 2022, 11:07pm

Actually Tom is probably right (as usual) - looks like it’s not connected to HA via the API. Those lines in the log are the ESPhome API.

You should see something like:

[09:06:23][D][api:102]: Accepted 192.168.0.100
[09:06:23][D][api.connection:861]: Home Assistant 2022.7.5 (192.168.0.100): Connected successfully

After the Using noise encryption: NO line but before the sensors start updating. I can’t see that in your log.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 11:17pm

I have seen what you are referencing in the past. But I do not see it anymore even on these sensors that are working.

I do appreciate your help so much, I really want this to work. What can I do to help you figure it out?\

I did add a new device today with the MQTT prefix home/ In the past everything was homeassitant/ I think. “Think” is bold.

You will only see it in the startup logs. Not if you connect to the device after boot.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 11:27pm

That is the wrong address for HA it should be 50 not 62?

No that’s just telling you the port the ESPhome API server is running on - on the device.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 11:31pm

sorry yes, i reinstalled another one that is working and figured that out
What now?
Yes I no longer see the MQTT accepted anywhere.
I appreciate your help soo much
Grey

zoogara · July 18, 2022, 11:33pm

Post the whole config - not just the sensor. Maybe there is something we are missing.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 11:35pm

you mean in espphome? I think the prob is deeper as I do not see that connect to HA anymore

Looks pretty simple.

You are using a manual IP. ~~Is anything else using that IP as well?~~ What happens if you use DHCP? Ignore- ESPhome would have trouble connecting - doh!

Also it isn’t in the disabled device list? On the Devices and Services tab, Devices, top right filter menu.

Apart from that - maybe delete it completely and re-add.

PapaLanc · July 18, 2022, 11:44pm

Yes , I have already tried readd and it is not showing disabled.

I am going to restore last nights backup before I added the home/ mqtt topic

Grey

Well that did not help.

I am lost

PapaLanc · July 19, 2022, 8:00pm

aw geeze sorry I wasted so much of your time
thanks again

Sometimes they show up automatically, you get a notification and then add the device to HA.

Sometimes (or if you are impatient like me) you need to add it manually per your last post.
