No luck with my first attempts to install #ESPHome on a ESP S3 dev board.

Trying to connect to the board using ESPHome web in chromium gives "Failed to initialize" and looking at system log messages it appears that the python it is using can't find the esphome module....

Anything more I'm meant to install? #NixOS should have this just working I'd have thought....

Work around broke the webUI, but command line usage appears to be working for me :)
