Problem: The ESP32 with allied relay shows as “unavailable” on the desktop. There is no entry for the ESP32 on my router/Wi-Fi. It does show up as a WAN connection!! Yet, it is not plugged into the WAN, nor has it ever been.
The ESP32 is shown as “offline” in ESPHome.
I believe this happened coincidentally with my upgrade yesterday of the HA Core.
Question 1: Could this show up on the WAN because it is connected via Bluetooth to HA?
Question 2: How might I troubleshoot the unavailable relay (which operates my heating boiler)?
Here is my setup on RPi 5, 8 GB, 250 GB USB Sata SSD:
- Core: 2024.11.2
- Supervisor: 2024.11.3
- Operating System: 13.2
- Frontend: 20241106.
- ESP32: DoIt ESP32 (ESP32 WROOM)
