LocalDeck firmware not building on ESPHome 2025.7

MichaelMKKelly

Firmware is not building for me in ESPHome 2025.7.

Will admit that i have some custom stuff but may be cause issues for others.
perhaps delay update to 2025.7

investigating now will update soon.

Updates:
Log: https://pastebin.com/p4ejFU01

Looks like the error is coming from the matrix_keypad Section:
ieee_address: !lambda return id(wifi_info_mac_address).state;

I have commented out all the event creation stuff from the keypad sections as i dont use the events in my setup anyway. i just use the button state entity. however i can see this being a bigger issue for others that make use of the various multipresss stuff.

Have also raised github issue - https://github.com/LocalBytes/localdeck-config/issues/56

FURTHER UPDATE:
looks like other projects have issues too.
Possible Fix incoming to ESPHome here - https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/9543
hopefully gets merged and fixed the issue in 2025.7.1

I’m seeing

now

updated the config to

    sdkconfig_options: {}
    version: recommended
    platform_version: recomended

and now getting

I recently had to add “pullup: false” to the “pin:” section - not LocalDeck related but maybe a similar fix.

pin:
  number: D0
  mode:
    input: true
    pullup: false

@GraemeD it looks like your config is based upon a pretty old version. theres changes that effected this stuff quite a while ago.

check out the latest version of the basic config here - https://github.com/LocalBytes/localdeck-config/blob/main/packages/localdeck-codegen/esphome-localdeck.yaml

Hi all and thanks for contributing to this thread! It’s nice to see the community out and about.

We are aware of the issue with the 2025.7.0 version of ESPHome, although also believe that the .1 version should have rectified the issue.

@GraemeD
Please do let us know if you still have issues after trying to build from the updated config.

Thanks all!
