I just purchased a AS-ESP32-S3 device to act as a voice assistant for my Home Assistant. When I received the unit, something inside it was rattling around loosely - like something had broken inside. Not sure if that's ultimately important or not.
When I plugged the device into the HA server, all of the lights turned blue and a tone built up in about 3 steps to a steady tone. The tone continued without stopping for as long as I had the device plugged it (up to 15 minutes, when I unplugged it). It doesn't seem to me that it was flashed with any new firmware as described in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-KsrZjFljY
While the tone was sounding, I did try to configure the device in my home assistant. I selected "Add Device", saw ESPHome and selected it, and was presented with a modal asking for the host ip address, which I provided. I got a "Unable to connect to the ESPHome device. Make sure the device's YAML configuration includes an 'api' section." as shown in the attached screenshot. I have no way to access any YAML that the device might be using since I can't access the device and can't do anything with it in Home Assistant.
What do I do to get this thing working?
