Hi,
I just started with Home assistant and i already connected my P1 power meter.
Also 2 shelly’s.
Now i want to connect for the first time my ESP32 board. It has a RS485 board connected and my solar inverter is connected to the RS485 pcb.
When i install esphome and i connect the ESP32 board, nothing happens. He does not discover the ESP32.
What do i do wrong?
Can somebody tell me step by step how to configure please?
Wifi connection is also not established.

You might need to press and hold boot and reset button.
Release reset.
Then release boot.
Already tried 134 times with 27 different youtube movies.
Every movie is different, even the hits on google.
Not 2 solutions the same for what i find.
I connect by USB,and than…?

As I wrote above.
You need to set it in programming mode.
I pressed the button for sec, 7 sec, 10sec… it’s not changing anything…
should i use esp home page or hass config?

Did you already flash ESpHome to the ESP device and then just need to get it into HA?
If so it should be auto discovered, if it is in the se network and had the API: section in its YAML config.
If not, then you should be ble to add the ESPHome in the integration page and then enter its IP address (make sure that it is either statically programmes in the YAML or reserved in the DHCP then).
Thx but this goes too fast for me.
I don’t know how to flash, i’m busy to watch several movies and google solutions but no.
I installed the esphome add onn, connect usb cable with esp32 board and than?
The ch340 driver is already installed.
I can’t setup wifi to receive an ip adress.
I’m really starting from zero. And for the moment i prefer burning the esp32 instead of configuring him. grrrrr.

Nobody who can guide me step by step?

You can flash the ESP either by installing the ESP device builder add-on in HA or you can use https://web.esphome.io/
Thanks!
I’m connected in the web.esphome.io/ . Either what i trie, he won’t connect to program something. The blue circle keeps running around.
Can you tell me how to flash in home assistant or esphome?

I don’t think I can explain it any better than what is already on the website. Have you connected it to your PC with a cable that supports data, not only power?
Yes the cable supports data because the previous cable didn’t show the esp32 in device manager.
The driver is the ch340

Which esp32 board you have?
ESP32D

Hi,
After more than 3 hours, the esp32 is installed and home assistant discovered the device.
The esp also has an ip adres. Is it normal youy can’t connect to it? It doesn’t has a webinterface?
I can go to addonns → esphome but than there’s no visit button on the esp32, only edit and logs.
What should i do next?
Greetz,
Bossi
It has if you configure it. Add this to your yaml:
web_server:
This happens when the esp is not in programming mode.
Hi Karosm,
I just started with hass and try to understand better the yaml things.
Can you explain me wich part i have to copy and paste in the yaml config?
Best regards,
Bossi
You can start with that.
