Hi there,
being relatively new to Home Assistant, I’m still learning some of the rather basic things of HA. This is a hard nut to crack: some new temperature sensor nodes w/ ESPHome won’t show up. Most did under notifications where I could include them with one or two clicks. Great. Others simply won’t.
Other forum members suggested to wait a while, which I did, but it didn’t help. There also were remarks to make sure to have different names in .yaml, which I also did. I also double-checked whether they have proper wifi connection or not (they have, with a lease, I can ping them). So that didn’t help much.
How do I manage those hidden nodes? Where in the HA UI can I find them? If nowhere, how’s it possible to make them apear? Wipe a node and start from scratch didn’t help either.
I also have some WLED nodes on the network which integrate like a champ. Same here: most nodes show up in a couple of seconds, but one single one won’t. Not in a week. I checked every setting between similar nodes, all networking/syncing features are identical. Logically it should show up. But it won’t.
What’s going on here? Is HA picky in some regard? Is it buggy as hell? I don’t know, just guessing here.
Thanks for any help coming along.
