Voice Assistant PE update is not working

I’m seeing the update for VA PE in my HA install (and have been for a few days). But the update button does nothing. It’s to version 25.3.0, from the current 25.2.1

Read release announcement


I’ve tried restarting (also updated HA yesterday as I thought that might help).

Clicking the update button just lights the button up for a few seconds and then it goes back to how it was. I’ve tried it via the notifcation and directly via the device page, neither makes any difference.

Logs show an error that I’ve not got to the bottom of:

2025-03-15 07:06:46.162 WARNING (MainThread) [aioesphomeapi.connection] home-assistant-voice-092d71 @ 192.168.1.215: Connection error occurred: home-assistant-voice-092d71 @ 192.168.1.215: EOF received

Any ideas? I’ve not found anything similar on threads here or elsewhere.

Mine was on 25.1.0 and HA did not show that there is anything newer. I had rebooted HA several times, didn’t make a difference. I had not ever taken control of it in the ESPHome Device Builder add-on.

I tried rebooting the PE itself (I thought I had tried that before with no effect, but decided today to really get this figured out) and about 5 minutes later, HA said an update was available. Kind of odd that the device reboot is what kickstarted HA to check for an update. I assume that because HA could see the device and it was usable that it would “know” to check for an update. So my issue was solved. That doesn’t help you though. I’m not an expert on the PE, but these are the 3 reasons (in my googling) as to why I’ve seen people have PE updating issues:

  1. PE HW needs a reboot.
  2. VLAN issues
  3. PE taken control of in ESPHome Device Builder add-on

I see you indicated you reboot it (so #1) likely not the issue. What about the other 2 items? Have you ever successfully updated (or did you get one with 25.2.1 pre-installed)?
