Thankyou.

When I power on, neither Ethernet or Wifi are active.

I connect to USB, update firmware.

Now what do I do next?

use esphome download firmware by USB cable.

OK - active now with firmware installed.

Where do I install yaml file?

OK - now I complete that. Install ESPHome Device Builder to HA, then build new firmware with YAML file and upload via EPSHome Web Interface.
