Can't pair with ESP8266Wifi NanoMCU #23

Hi All,

often i use the ESP8266Wifi module for I/O functions.

But now i want to pair a new unit but these 5 are not listed in the setup.

Is there a maximum of units to pair ?

Homey version: 5.0.4 App version: 6.3.1.672 ESP version: 1.8.0

I found the solution.

I add a "Generic - System Info" at Devices and now i can pair with the unit.

That's the correct way. Homey checks whether you configured the ESP device correctly by waiting for 'sensor update' messages. A systeminfo device will send a few messages once every minute. I'm open to suggestions for better wording of the page in your screenshot.
