problem communicating with device (did work, now it doesn't)

[Skankrabbit]

But its not detecting the A8. How does that mean the A8 hardware is ok???

ok, that mean A8 hardware is OK. you can delete esphome device, re add a new device, use another board name for a test.

I Already deleted , tried to add new device and it does not detect it, just has the spinning icon and says "initialising" but never ends
