Ive been trying to install ESP Home and getting the following error:

Error: esp had a failure Exception: RuntimeError Message: pkg error: - py38-pillow : Refusing to fetch artifact and run post_install.sh! Partial plugin destroyed

I have previously had it installed and working on this Truenas setup. For whatever reason the plugin was removed. but now i need it again it wont install.

For whatever reason the plugin was removed.

The plugin was broke. Even if you manage to get ESPHome installed, only the WebUI was working. There are errors compiling new firmware for both esp32 and esp8266 devices for some time now.

I'm not sure about the error you're seeing but I can say that py38-pillow is an optional dependency for installation.

If you absolutely must have ESPhome installed in a jail on CORE, I can help you get it installed but unless you can build custom ports for the missing platformio libraries it will be pretty useless IMO. To be clear, there are ports on github for the missing libraries in question, however they do not build the correct versions ESPHome is looking for. By custom port, I mean maintaining a port that builds with versions matching the ESPHome requirements.
