Base MSR-2 Configuration Invalid For ESPHome Device Builder Version 2025.2.0

[compmodder26]

I just installed the latest version of ESPHome Device Builder (2025.2.0). I attempted to edit the friendly name of one of my MSR-2 sensors. When I attempted to install the updated configuration this error was thrown:

INFO ESPHome 2025.2.0
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/apollo-msr-2-aa1bc0.yaml...
Failed config

light.esp32_rmt_led_strip: [source /data/packages/9a51d7a7/Integrations/ESPHome/MSR-2.yaml:497]
  platform: esp32_rmt_led_strip
  id: rgb_light
  name: RGB Light
  pin: GPIO3
  
  This feature is not available for the IDF framework version 5.

        name: Slow Pulse

This error is coming from the base configuration as this is all I have in place for the configuration of the device:

substitutions:
  name: apollo-msr-2-aa1bc0
  friendly_name: Office Presence Sensor
packages:
  ApolloAutomation.MSR-2: github://ApolloAutomation/MSR-2/Integrations/ESPHome/MSR-2.yaml
esphome:

  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

sensor:
  - platform: scd4x
    id: !extend scd40 
    temperature:
      name: "SCD40 Temperature"
    humidity:
      name: "SCD40 Humidity"

Looking at the documentation, it appears that rmt_channel is an Arduino configuration variable and may not be compatible with esp-idf.

I get the same error when I try to update any of my Apollo Sensors using HA's ESPHome Builder. I just upgraded to the Feb 2025 (2025.2.0) release and any attempt to upgrade fails.

Thanks for letting us know, we really need to set up weekly builds to catch these faster.

It is a change in the newest ESPHome update, the sensors should function just fine without updating. I'm working on the fix for them right now though.

I created a PR that should resolve the problem if you're interested. It's tested and working on my own MSR-2s

Confirmed working here too

Fixed in #24 Thanks!!

I'm still seeing

When either doing a clean build or upgrade.

My plant sensors updated, but not my msr-2s.

I'm also still seeing the same error.
I colud switch til the msr-2_ble.yaml and install that, but msr-2.yaml still shows the same error.

Update: Upgrades are now succeeding on all devices.
