Unable to compile configuration

ESPHome
1

I’m trying to flash a device (first time ESPHome user), using Chrome. I have set up SSL certs on my HA.

I’ve tried two devices, and different USB cables, and have also rebooted. But each time, it picks it up:

But then says it has failed to compile. I know there are other ways of doing it, but really hoping to get this method working as I want to do lots of these!

@snatch did to solve this problem? I am experiencing exactly the same issue.

i connected to my docker container shell, created a almost blank yaml file and ran this:
esphome --dashboard compile /config/test.yaml

this compiled and worked. From this point onwards I was able to get the website ui to work.
Probably a coincidence, not sure.
I also had 404 errors in the logs for secrets.yaml so perhaps this was also related to the problem.

When I access the home assistant shell I don’t have any esphome command. Do I need to enter the esphome addon container? I tried to look into the different ha commands, but couldn’t find it. Can you please explain how you were able to do it?

I was able to get this working by clicking “skip this step”, saving the configuration, and then using my browser with the ESP device connected.
