ESPHome | 2026.4.3

ESPHome 2026.4.3 released on 28-04-2026


ESPHome 2026.4.3 is out now. It fixes a range of display and UI issues, improves ESP32 and Wi‑Fi reliability, and corrects deep‑sleep code generation so timing values behave as expected.

Head to the ESPHome GitHub release page for the full changelog and links to the individual fixes.

What’s in this release

  • LVGL tabview tab triggers fixed so tab events fire reliably.
  • Nextion/TFT upload acknowledgement timeout unified to 5000 ms to improve upload reliability.
  • Multi-frame image animations using RGB565 with alpha now render correctly.

Upgrade notes

  • ESP32 bootloops and Wi‑Fi issues caused by missing or non‑default NVS partition labels are handled by this release; no configuration changes should be required for most users—check the GitHub discussion if a device still fails to boot.
  • If you need to revert, reflash or roll back to the previous firmware release via your usual workflow (use the earlier release tag on GitHub or your device management tooling).

Share your experience on the ESPHome GitHub discussions or issue tracker so the team can follow up on any device‑specific behaviour.
