Module `with-rgb-status-leds-rev-3.1.yaml` containing wrong `hardware` config?

[patschi]

Example with-rgb-status-leds-rev-3.1.yaml seems to contain a wrong/unsupported config setting?

wifi-fancontroller/examples/with-rgb-status-leds-rev-3.1.yaml

Lines 6 to 11 in a28ba2e

	packages:
	# Include the hardware-specific configuration
	hardware:
	url: https://github.com/zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller
	files: [hardware-rev-3.1.yaml]
	ref: main

When copying the specific lines (and adjusting to 3.3) ESPHome's editor complains:

Following lines appear to be fine:

packages:
  hardware: github://zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller/hardware-rev-3.3.yaml@main

Thank you for the feedback, I will try to reproduce.

Currently, I cannot reproduce this, it does not show any error.

Have you tried building it anyways? I remember that it sometimes complained the first time before the repo was downloaded.

mhh. I am currently using this:

# Docs: https://github.com/zeroflow/esphome-fancontroller

packages:
   hardware: 
     url: https://github.com/zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller 
     files: [hardware-rev-3.3.yaml] 
     ref: main 

  rpm_status_leds:
    url: https://github.com/zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller
    files: [modules/rpm_status_leds.yaml]
    ref: main
    vars:
      full_rpm: 2000 # considered as 100% speed

  temperature_pid:
    url: https://github.com/zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller
    files: [modules/temperature_pid.yaml]
    ref: main

When building it fails with:

INFO ESPHome 2026.2.4
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/1f-office-rack-fancontroller.yaml...
ERROR Error while reading config: Invalid YAML syntax:

Ignore above. Was my mistake of having wrong indentation.

Fixed version being:

# Docs: https://github.com/zeroflow/esphome-fancontroller

packages:
  hardware: 
    url: https://github.com/zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller 
    files: [hardware-rev-3.3.yaml] 
    ref: main 

  rpm_status_leds:
    url: https://github.com/zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller
    files: [modules/rpm_status_leds.yaml]
    ref: main
    vars:
      full_rpm: 2000 # considered as 100% speed

  temperature_pid:
    url: https://github.com/zeroflow/wifi-fancontroller
    files: [modules/temperature_pid.yaml]
    ref: main

Resulting in this error when pressing INSTALL in the UI:
