Faulty Smart Plug

Lazulent

I have 3 LB Plugs, same firmware level, apparently identical. All work via their web interface but Home Assistant only auto-discovers 2 of them. Is there something I can do or is this a fault?

As you know the IP of the missing one you can add it manually. Just use Add Integration and ESPHome assuming they are all EspHome and not Tasmota

Hi Luzulent. As @jane_t correctly said, the next step would be adding it manually.

Go to the intergrations Page
Click “Add Integration”
Search for ESPHome
Add the hostnamme or ip address you use for accessing the web interface

They are all Tasmota.

Did I buy the wrong one?

You can use both, ESPHome is managed by the same group who develop Home Assistant so most people with HA tend to use ESPHome, you can use Tasmota as well, but you might have to add the device manually if it is not autodetecting. I have a couple of Tasmota plugs and they work fine.
