Is there any way to reset the ESP32 so that I can do a clean install?

yes, the web tools will have a factory reset option or erase

Yea I haven't updated the main branch to support the new dallas_temp yet, still testing. You'll see the test branch is updated for it. you could try adding this code in ESPHome and update from there, but up to you as I'll likely be merging the branches this week. Until then, all updates will fail. I may have to remove native support for 2 dallas sensors.

packages:
TheRealFalseReality.aquapi:
url: https://github.com/TheRealFalseReality/aquapi
ref: test
file: aquapi_config.yaml
refresh: 1s

Yeh I don't know how to do that. Lol

it's just a way to import the config from the test branch, no worries!

I actually merged to the main branch today, support for ESPHome 2024.6 should be good to go

Should the name of the Temp YAML be changed to take effect when updating?

you may have to wait, ESPHome only refreshes the github link once a day

Is there any tutorial videos on how to setup dashboards and cards? BTW both devices now up and running with latest firmware.

 

[TheFalseReality]

I haven't really been able to share dashboard as easily. I use auto-entities mostly. if you get that card as a HACS add-on, I can prolly share some

I don't know how it all works with configuration yaml. Where do they go and how do you activate them? Don't forget total newb.

It's called layout card, also from HACS. Anything you see with custom: is installed via HACS typically. Here's the GitHub for layout-card:
