WT32-ETH01 seen by router, but offline in HA

ESPHome
1

Hello,

I have bought a WT32-ETH01 board to be able to get temperature readings from a BME280 sensor through ethernet. I tried setting it up, it say there is no error. After that I remove the jumper from GPIO0 (next to tx rx pins) and ground and power it up again. It gets an IP from the router that I can see in my router, but in HA it stays offline and when i try to add it in devices it will say to make sure to add api line in the yaml file. I can ping the device from the router itself, but no other device can ping it on the network.

Anybody has an idea what am I doing wrong?

What IP address are you trying to ping from?

What exactly does it say when you do so?

Is port 6053 open on the device?

I was trying to ping it from 192.168.1.73 and 192.168.1.93, they are on the same subnet as the wt32. I could ping it from 192.168.1.1 which is the router. When it fails its just no response, 100% packet loss. I thought i dont have to open ports on the same subnet.

I managed to solve the issue.
Previously I used an arduino uno for ttl converter which worked fine, but it stopped working ( no serial answer) after a while. I found a d1 mini in my drawer and tried that and it seems like it did the job right and reports temperature as it should. Ordered a couple ttl converter to make my life easier in the future.
