all adopted esphome devices went off to lunch. (changeing local domain to .local fixed the issue)

The problem

All Mine home assistant entities (2 echos. 3 bluetooth proxys) where off line. my not adapted smartmeter did work with out any hickup. could not reconnect to home assistant. could only connect to esphome once. (sometimes)

I had a discussion with snowy on discord. and he gave a hint to the fix. I renamed my local domain from .pwap to .local and everything worked out of the box. (install echo using esphome web gui , connect to hass)

[16:35] I know many systems that dont have a .local domain snowy — vandaag om 16:40 well its probably cos u have did not change in HA at the starrt [16:40] HA and ESPHome would have to know that you are not using .local [16:41] everythign defaults to that because its the most common values Daft_dutch — vandaag om 16:41 it did work until the latest patch.
