ESPHome 2026.6.1 released on 18-06-2026
ESPHome 2026.6.1 is out now. It fixes address-resolution correctness when addresses move between entities or subsystems, tightens logging behaviour and refines build and ESP32 toolchain handling for developers and device builders.
See the ESPHome GitHub release for full notes and downloads.
What’s in this release
- Core: has_resolvable_address now honours the transferred-address cache, resolving cases where moved addresses were incorrectly treated as non-resolvable.
- Build & device builder: host unit-test config population skips target-platform dependencies to avoid pulling in unnecessary platform-specific deps, and the bundled esphome-device-builder has been bumped to 1.0.10.
- ESP32: support for esphome idedata with the native ESP-IDF toolchain has been added, and the build process was changed to avoid overwriting PlatformIO’s factory.bin.
Upgrade notes
- No breaking changes are reported in the release notes; check builds that rely on PlatformIO’s factory.bin after upgrading to ensure your factory firmware files are preserved.
- If you need to roll back, use the previous release tag available on the ESPHome GitHub releases page.
Tell the project about your experience after upgrading — reports on address-resolution behaviour, ESP32 builds or unit-test workflows will help ensure these fixes land cleanly for others.
