I am using Hassio with BTHome and ESPHome integrations. Selecting the ESPHome integration I see my three esp devices and they have an “Adopt” option. Should I do this? I believe they are part of the BTHome integration. If I do not, how do I keep the firmware updated?
I do not think I enabled encrypted ota. Might have during an upgrade, hard to remember. I have tried “Adopting” one of the devices, it wants to assign what seems to be a new encryption key, which I tried skipping and it fails to update, refusing the connection.
Trying not to be completely helpless,I have examined all the files I can think of. My secrets.yaml has an API key, I don’t see any entries for ota:
I don’t mind digging around, but what should I expect? And to the original point, should I have both BTHome and ESPHome running together? Is that best practices?
I came across this because one of the esp devices seems to be getting intermittent with it’s connection, which years ago if that happened, I would simply update the firmware to fix those kinds of things.
