I have installed the polulu CP2102 drivers on both windows 10 and 7, and tried to upload the yaml file.
The esp32dev board is connected by usb cable to the computer
The upload fails I did hold down the boot button while trying to flash the board, but still the same error about python files
UndefinedPackageVersion: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement '1.1.1' for your system 'linux_aarch64':
LibraryManager: Installing id=12172 @ 1.1.1
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/platformio/builder/main.py", line 168:
env.SConscript("$BUILD_SCRIPT")
There are another 12 lines of this error relating to different python files
Is this because the python library is not installed , or because the syslabs CP2102 drivers are not installed.
Does a python library need to be installed.
easiest way to get software into tour esp devices:
install esp-home addon in HA
enter your yaml config save and hit install
choose ‘manual download’ to download the bin file
on your windows 10, use your CP2102 to upload the bin file to your esp device. You can use a tool like esphome-flasher, but there are many more around.
Once your device is up and running, ha should report a new device found and you’ll be able to add it.
Any further configuration change, you will be able to do straight from the add-on using OTA (OverTheAir)

I connected the esp32dev board by usb to my windows10 laptop, then I clicked on the upload button on the yaml file in esphome. I also pressed down the boot button the esp32dev board.
And yes I have the CP2102 drivers installed
When I select ‘Upload’ for the yaml file in esphome, It says that it is looking for AsyncTCP-esphome library in registry
Conflict: More than one library has been found by request (“name” : “AsyncTCP-esphome”, “requrements”: “1.1.1”): AsyncTCO-esphome
Also, what exactly are your versions of esphome and home assistant, including install methods. The reference to python 3.6 in the error message makes me think something is very very outdated.
Apologies, I thought I did answer on the install method.
Plug esp32 board into usb port on my laptop
Open up esphome in HA, then select / click on ‘upload’ on the said yaml file.
that’s it??
No reason why I didn’t update, but how do I update esphome. Mistakenly I thought it was part of HA being as it is just a link in the left side menu
Clicking on the ESPhome addon in HA it says current version is 1.15.3, but I don’t see anyway of updating it.
@nickrout
aah sorry.
Well, the best I can remember from 2 years ago, I flashed an sd card with the relevant img file, using balena etcher on a linux system.
HA is on my Pi3, and I’m not sure I put esphome on the Pi3??? To be honest I don’t remember, and if I had to start again I’d have to google it all
Thanks for the clarification.
As there is no update icon / button for the addon ESPHome, I can’t update it directly. I noticed the Auto Update selection? was off, so I turned it on. Now it seems I have to wait until a new version of ESPHome is installed. Unless there is another way of doing so.
I know at some point they changed the repository URL,
You can also check this post.
If I understand correct, you can just delete the old addon, and the new version should become available, although some people have to add it manually by adding GitHub - esphome/home-assistant-addon: ESPHome Home Assistant Add-on ;maybe the ‘Add integration’ from here also works
In my case I had to add it manually using the Add-On page with the 3 dots:
I installed a new esphome addon , then uninstalled the old version.
Now when I look at my yaml file, at the bottom, with old version it said EDIT VALIDATE lOGS, with the new version, it now says UPDATE EDIT LOGS .
At the top right corner of the said file, it says OFFLINE in red letters.
