Timeout when accessing captive portal

localbytesuser1

Hi,

I’ve received my new local deck but when I connect to the Local Deck WiFi (getting the IP address 192.168.4.100), I am not able to access 192.168.4.1 - it just times out.

Any suggestions?

Ok, so I managed to connect the local deck to wifi using the esphome web UI.

However now when I try to flash the config over, I get the following error:

INFO ESPHome 2025.4.2

Applied solution from https://forum.mylocalbytes.com/d/162-localdeck-this-feature-is-not-available-for-the-idf-framework-version-5

I’ve now managed to get a firmware uploaded but there is no response when pressing any of the configured buttons.

Hi @localbytesuser1

We’re hoping to publish a video later today explaining how to apply the latest firmware release for the LocalDeck. Please watch this space!

I suspect this will help fix the issue. However, if it doesn’t, please feel free to get back in touch.
