Hi
I’ve just updated ESPHome with a ‘pip3 install –upgrade esphome’, which I’ve used successfully many time before. My ESPHome web pages says EPHome is now 2025.7.2. I rebooted the ESPHome server and compiled code for an LocalBytes plug. The compile worked ok, as can be seen below, but I can’t connect to the plug from the ESPHome web page to view the live logs. I could connect before I updated ESPHome. The LocalBytes plug is working and responds the HomeAssistant commands.
.... earlier compile lines trimmed.....
