I installed HAos to a new machine after the previous one went down. I did not have a backup off of the other machine and other issues that made it impossible to get my previous setup. So I’ve started from scratch, which has actually been nice except for ESPHome and these ifans.
I had them working before and they were receiving OTA updates and most things were working through the HA frontend. I have the ifans on a different vlan and that setup hasn’t changed, still works for other devices.
HA sees the ESPHome ifans and asks to add them. However when I try it errors and says an API needs to be on the yaml. I have reviewed the config in ESPHome for the ifans and its there. I’m not sure what I’m missing or if I have to start from scratch with the flashing process.
Thanks for your help and feedback.

What do the esphome logs say?
What is your yaml?

Seems pretty clear. Your HA instance (in this case the ESPHome addOn) can’t reach the Sonoff.
Did you check the IP address of this specific device in your router? I’d try to reach the device with its local IP address, maybe something with mDNS isn’t working as it should. I read a lot of DNS problems (not specific to your problem or ESPHome) in the last weeks, so to rule this out…
And if this doesn’t work, I’d try to disable mDNS in ESPHome (in the yaml file for this device) and set a fixed IP address in the router and in your ESP file.
