Hey everyone, im trying to connect my esp32 sensors to home assistant but keep getting timeout errors. I've checked the wifi credentials like 5 times and they're definately correct. The sensors work fine when i test them independently but just wont stay connected to HA. Has anyone dealt with this before? Running HA on a raspberry pi 4 btw.

yeah i had the same issue last month. turns out my router was dropping the connection because too many devices were connected on 2.4ghz band. Try switching to 5ghz if your esp32 supports it or set up a static IP for each sensor in your router settings. Also make sure youre using the latest esphome version, that fixed alot of stability issues for me.
