Compilation fail on esphome 2026.2.1

[lawrencehead]

Trying this out on an S3 supermini and getting this error on compilation when using an 'addressable_ddp' effect. Compiles ok when using 'ddp' effect.

========================= [FAILED] Took 13.94 seconds =========================

and here's my yaml:

substitutions:
  name: esp-candle-1
  friendly_name: "esp-candle-1"
  comment: "ESP32 S3 supermini candle led strip"

packages:
  common: !include common/common.yaml # esphome, wifi, api, ota, logger
  common_sensors: !include common/common_sensors.yaml # Wifi info, esphome ver, uptime, restart button
  esp32s3supermini: !include common/esp32-s3-supermini.yaml # esphome, esp32, onboard_rgb_led

ddp:
  stats_interval: 60s

logger:
  level: VERBOSE

light:
  - platform: esp32_rmt_led_strip
    rgb_order: GRB
    pin: GPIO8
    chipset: SK6812
    is_rgbw: true
    num_leds: 4
    name: "Strip"
    effects:
      - addressable_ddp:
          name: Addressable DDP
          timeout: 10s
          disable_gamma: true
          brightness_scaling: none
          active_sensor: true

external_components:
  - source:
      type: git
      url: https://github.com/KaufHA/common
    components: [ ddp ]
    refresh: always

#binary_sensor:
#  - platform: status
#    name: "${friendly_name} Status"
#    internal: true

If I uncomment that last binary_sensor, it compiles just fine.

I'm no coder, but chatgpt reckons there's a missing dependency:

In components/ddp/__init__.py, ensure binary_sensor is auto-loaded or listed as a dependency. Conceptually either of these is fine:

AUTO_LOAD = ["binary_sensor"] (plus whatever else you need), or

DEPENDENCIES = ["network", "binary_sensor"]

ok just added that. try it now.

That's sorted it, thanks for the quick fix.
