Strange offline Behaviour in 2025.11.5

Bobbinz

So I updated to 2025.11.5 recently and reflashed all my LB plugs.

The devices now show offline in the ESP Builder application despite not being (HA still gets data just fine)

A reboot appears to get them back, but is there a proper fix?

Do you have them on static IPs? If not it might simply be ESPHome is not picking them up if they get a different IP when they come back?

Did you try restarting the ESPHome add on?

I did try that, no difference sadly.

Luckily the reboot button in the HA UI per device works so that has become part of the solution. It is also now happening with other ESP devices so must be ESP or network related. That said HA has never failed to connect to a device to ESP itse;f may be at fault.

The workaround works for now.
