I’ve been experimenting with ESPHome devices integrated into my Home Assistant setup, and I’m encountering some connectivity challenges. After flashing several ESPHome devices, I noticed that when they’re offline or disconnected, my Home Assistant logs get flooded with error messages. This has become quite disruptive, especially since the system doesn’t seem to time out gracefully when a device isn’t available. Here’s a snippet of the logs I’m dealing with:
2019-11-05 13:11:12 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.esphome] Can’t connect to ESPHome API for 192.168.1.129: Error connecting to (‘192.168.1.129’, 6053): [Errno 113] Connect call failed (‘192.168.1.129’, 6053)
…
I’ve tried restarting Home Assistant and ensuring all devices are properly configured, but the issue persists. It’s frustrating because these errors prevent the system from starting properly. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution? I’m curious if there are settings within ESPHome or Home Assistant that can help manage these disconnections more effectively.
Additionally, I’m wondering if there’s a way to suppress these error messages without affecting the functionality of the devices that are still connected. Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated! Let’s collaborate to make this setup more robust and user-friendly.
