Can't update S3 Box because of duplicate OTA instance

[TheZoker]

Hi there,

This is my yaml config:

packages:
  esphome.voice-assistant: github://esphome/firmware/wake-word-voice-assistant/esp32-s3-box.yaml@main

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
  ap:
    ssid: "ESPHome Fallback"
    password: !secret api_password

ota:
  - platform: esphome
    password: !secret api_password

Every time I try to compile this, I get this error:

Failed config

ota.esphome: [source /data/packages/c46f54c1/wake-word-voice-assistant/esp32-s3-box.yaml:85]
  
  Only one instance of the esphome ota platform is allowed per port. Note that this error may result from OTA specified in packages.
  platform: esphome
  id: ota_esphome
  version: 2
  port: 3232

Since all my devices use a password for OTA I'm not sure how to solve this. Can somebody help me fix this? Thanks!

I've had the same issue too, for some reason even when I change the hostname it seems to always add the id after the name. I had to use a static IP to get it to update or listen to the logs

I've hit the same issue now too. Seems like there ought to be a way to add a password to an existing esphome ota instance, that way there isn't an esphome ota instance available without a password.

I think the extend keyword can be used to modify the default esphome ota instance and add a password to it like so:

ota:
  - id: !extend ota_esphome
    password: !secret esp32_s3_box_3_01_ota_esphome_password

I guess that may not even be necessary due to esphome/esphome#7001 being merged.
