ahhhhhhh thank you ! all Projekts now working correct !

@piotek there is no fix in a release yet. You need to test the PR.

Add this to your yaml:

external_components:
  - source: github://pr#6797
    components: [ web_server_base ]

@ssieb I tested the PR...nope. Still borks devices like Ratgdo. If I force a rollback to 2024.4.2 (via the docker image method) everything works. Further, just downgrading the web components to 2024.4.2 as in the earlier suggestion does not work for Ratgdo either.

I suspect there's more that's changed (and now potentially broken?) starting with the 2024.5 series that just the web components piece...but I neither have the expertise in ESPHome nor the time commitment to take it much further.

Out of curiosity: is there a way, using only the YAML configuration file, to enforce that a specific version of ESPHome be installed, not just a particular component? It would go a long way to helping my own user community out. Thanks!

Edit: Having tried this on nearly a dozen Ratgdo devices at this point...I can say it can/does work on some, but not in all instances. Despite trying several reflashes, etc. It's quite odd. In all cases, a reversion to 2024.4.2 addresses the stability issues across all Ratgdo devices, including the web interface.

@hjdhjd this issue is not about stability. Check out the other issues or file a new one. This is fixed with https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6797

Will do. Given the webUI doesn't in fact come up in all cases, I'm not sure this can be called fixed...but I will open up a new issue, nonetheless.

FWIW I have Ratgdo's (two) that are working. But you said some do, some do not. Just in case, if no one objects, can you note the issue you open here so people can follow there? (I just looked at did not see it).

2024.5.4 addresses all the issues for Ratgdo in my environments. Thanks @ssieb and others!
