I flashed the firmware, it shows in HA and gets added, while during configuration it times out with The voice assistant is unable to connect to Home Assistant

In the log it shows:

[15:09:00][E][speaker_media_player.pipeline:112]: Media reader encountered an error: ESP_ERR_HTTP_CONNECT
[15:09:00][E][speaker_media_player:326]: The announcement pipeline's file reader encountered an error.

[15:09:00][E][audio_reader:120][ann_read]: Failed to open URL

Repeatedly, any ideas?

figured it out, it has to be on the same subnet as HA, can't be on 192.168.1.x if HA is running on 192.168.0.xx
