ESPHome | 2026.3.3

ESPHome 2026.3.3 released on 07-04-2026


ESPHome 2026.3.3 is out now. It fixes Nextion queue timing, clears LVGL descriptors when online image sizes change, and forces clean ESP32 builds when sdkconfig options change — improvements aimed at more reliable displays and correct build outcomes.

See the project’s GitHub release for the full notes and links to the pull requests and commits.

What’s in this release

  • nextion: fix queue age check that used inconsistent time sources, so commands and events are no longer incorrectly treated as stale or preserved (esphome#15317).
  • online_image: clear the LVGL descriptor (dsc) when an image’s size changes to avoid reuse of stale metadata that can cause corruption or layout/display issues (esphome#15360).
  • esp32: force a clean build when sdkconfig options change to prevent build artifact and configuration mismatches (esphome#15439).

Upgrade notes

  • If you use Nextion displays, verify command and event handling after upgrading to confirm the queue ageing now behaves as expected.
  • ESP32 builds will perform a clean rebuild when sdkconfig options change, so expect a full rebuild after such changes rather than incremental builds.
  • If you need to revert, check out the previous release tag on the project’s GitHub and roll back to the prior version.
