@liaukouski, add variant like this:

esp32:
  board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1
  framework:
    type: esp-idf
  # currently needed, but not in the future
  variant: ESP32C3

[liaukouski]

not resolve problem, same error: Installation failed: Error: Configuration does not match the platform of the connected device. Expected a ESP32 device.

Hi lads. Any solution for this? I have the same problem, and the "variant: ESP32C3" won't help either. Got the same error message.

[rsumner]

The C3/S2/S3 code is still in development, so make sure you're using the dev release and not a current production release for C3 chip support.

[iMike78]

2021.12.0 dev version installed In the code I'm using the dev version as well. The result is even more error during the compile I was happy when I found the new esp32 version, but I think I'll leave them in the drawer for a while 😃

[rsumner]

@iMike78. just make sure you are using the latest dev release of ESPhome and don't change the espidf version in your config.yaml. this works perfectly fine for me:

esp32:
  board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1
  framework:
    type: esp-idf
  # currently needed, but not in the future
  variant: ESP32C3

[iMike78]

I'm using the latest dev release of ESPhome Unfortunately still I'm struggling with this error message: Installation failed: Error: Configuration does not match the platform of the connected device. Expected a ESP32 device. My code now is exactly what you posted.

What kind of board are you using? Is there more output in your "run" command above the error? What is it detecting your device as? All of my testing has been using an official Espressif ESP32-C3-DevKitC-02 board and everything seems to work fine for me. Here's a sample of my output where the ESP32-C3 chip is properly detected:

esptool.py v3.2

User error, sorry. I tried to flash trough browser (chrome), not to connect to the ESPhome host computer. Now I plugged the board to the rPi, and the flash was complete. Thanks for your help.

Weirdly, this is true. I have the same experience with a C3 board, NodeMCU ESP-C3-13. Will not work over Chrome, but will start flashing if connected physically. Any way to skip this platform check?

[southseaboy]

Same issue for me with NodeMCU esp32-c3 boards (4 different variants, all using CH430 usb to serial adaptors). Interestingly Tasmota's chrome upload tool (also using ESP Web Tools) works fine with these boards, so would seem to be an ESPHome issue. I'm using esphome 2021.12.0-dev Home Assistant Addon on a linux supervised platform, the browser is Chrome on a Windows 10 PC.

I get this issue:

I am trying to use my Adafruit ESP32-S3 chip and I can get it to compile and even flash (holding the non-restart button while plugging into USB) and then hitting install/flash. However, after the flash nothing happens...LEDs don't even turn on anymore lol. Here is my config I used with ESPHome Web:

esphome:
  name: esphome

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  variant: esp32s3
  framework:
    type: esp-idf

[nliaudat]

With esphome 2022.10.0, the following config works

esp32:
  board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1
  framework:
    type: esp-idf
    version: recommended
    # Custom sdkconfig options
    sdkconfig_options:
      CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_SIZE: y
    # Advanced tweaking options
    advanced:
      ignore_efuse_mac_crc: false

@nmajin On what platform are you compiling, I have noticed that it will not work on rasbery mashine. Compile just not work.
