I have a few ESP devices and some, the older ones I think, have no visit link. The newer ones all have a visit link that takes me to the devices web portal.
The YAML has no web server config in any of the devices other than the fall back access point entry under the Wifi section, they all have this.
Can anyone explain why this is? I do not actually want a web portal for any of them, I get all the data in HA and that is all I need.
Thank you for any help on this.
Doesn’t sound correct. Web server can’t pop up from thin air.
If you click the visit link for a device without the web portal enabled it will take you to the esphome builder addon web page instead.
Here is an extract of what is in the YAML in each, everything after the Captive portal is a device or display or sensor etc, nothing that would affect a web browser beinmg there or not.

So post screenshot what opens when you click visit.
That means you have web server component on your Esp.
Maybe you experience failed updates, making you think that the last yaml that doesn’t have web server, really is running on your Esp.
Read carefully your logs when you upload.
I have updated these manually and am watching the process all the way to the logs from the device starting to go past, there are no errors in compilation or upload and the logs show the expected output.
I just can not figure out why there is a web server included.
Can you post your complete yaml.
This one has the visit link, which I do not want or need:

I wonder if it is just your web browser cache?
Have you tried clearing it or using a private tab?
But the device actually has a web page with a log section that shows activity as the device does stuff. I would not expect it to have a working web page with data available to see if I have not configured one in the YAML.
Neither would I.
If you remove seeed_mr24hpc1 stuff from your yaml (everything down from uart) what’s the output?
Yeah ok. That’s unlikely to be it then.
You’re 100% sure you don’t have a duplicate device on your network?
No duplicates I can find, and only the devices I have added in the last 3/4 weeks have the web interface.
I have made a change to older devices and uploaded them and they have not aquired a view link or a web interface.
But the ones I added new recently, 2 seeed presence sensors and a Lilligo camera module with display all have a view link and a web interface available. I just can not figure out what is up.
This is the result of compiling with everything from and including UART removed, still get the visit link and a web page:
I have nothing to suggest.
But to test further you could remove ap and captive portal as well.
The one with webserver is compiled with esp-idf framework and the one without with arduino framework, maybe that’s is a clue
