SOLVED ESPHome not wanting to compile new code

[Kannderni]

This issue was present i think two updates ago with the new platformio update. I waited to see if the problem might get away but it did not. I get this error upon compiling new code to my devices. I tried installing the plugin again but it did not solved the issue i'm having.

This happens because platform.io no longer ships the compiled toolchains with their product so we must compile them ourselves

I tried to compile new toolchains about a month ago but they were still the wrong version.

• https://github.com/trombik/xtensa-esp32-elf/tree/devel/devel/xtensa-esp32-elf

I have another try at it today...

This should fix the problem if i upgrade the esphome jail? I haven't tried with any ESP32 board yet. Thanks in advance for recompiling the code.

Sorry for the delay...

Unfortunately the compiled version still does not match what ESPHome is looking for.

if i upgrade the esphome jail?

Not this time... Upgrading the jail only pulls the toolchains I compiled, since I cannot get the right version, it won't help

Is this then EOL for ESPHome for TrueNAS?

Is this then EOL for ESPHome for TrueNAS?

It could be... unless someone can help me keep these toolchains updated to the correct versions.

I'll probably have ESPHome removed from the plugins list on TrueNAS Core 13.

ESPHome is available on TrueNAS Scale using the @truecharts catalog

The plugin error is still present so the only option remains to run esphome is to setup a VM to run Home Assistant OS and then install the esphome plugin inside HA.

The plugin error is not going to fix itself and no one cares enough to help me get it fixed.

Home Assistant OS is not the only option though... I've switched to running ESPHome container using docker-compose. You can also do this in a VM or even on a Raspberry pi, if you have one laying around. Either way it still works fine with Home Assistant, regardless how they are installed.
