connect ETIMEDOUT error

[janstepanekcz]

Hello I was using esphome nodes to control water heater settings for almost one year till today. Now I am getting error in title. No entities are available anymore.

No changes were done before this poped up. Esphome device is up and runnning, available in HomeAssistant, running its web page but not available in nodered.

Till now after issue appeared I restarted node red, restarted esphome device, updated node-red-contrib-esphome to latest version, removed all esphome nodes and uninstalled node-red-contrib-esphome and installed again all without any positive efect.

Do you have any hint what to check?

check ip address of esp?
if you have HA, i recommended use HA for control esphome dev

IP adress of my ESP device is unchanged. The reason to use nodered instead of Home assistant is that it is running on Victron Cerbo SGX. I wanted to eliminate another machine (HA) from the chain of devices. Main function is to provide priority relay to prevent overload of my inverter and few other features.

Yesterday it became back up after restarting mqtt broker on Cerbo. But the issue is now back again.

I was not sure and had to check. No the esp home device is configured to use only api no mqtt.
