Description

The first instructions are super unclear ... it sounds like three paragraphs telling me the very same thing... maybe clarify / rephrase it.

`
You are not browsing the dashboard over a secure connection (HTTPS). This prevents ESPHome from being able to install this on devices connected to this computer.

You will still be able to install ESPHome by connecting the device to the computer that runs the ESPHome dashboard.

Alternatively, you can use ESPHome Web to prepare a device for being used with ESPHome using this computer.

first ... HTTPS is preventing ESPHome from being able to install this on devices connected to this computer ... but I will still be able to install ESPHome by connecting the device to the computer ... alternatively I can use the Webinterface to prepare ...?

This absolutely doesn't help me ... and I am quite a proficient noob that understands the basics of ESPHome. I am super confused now.

I would rewrite this as it makes no sense without being one of the lead coders who understand the tiny nuances in ... some of the words I guess.
