ESP-IDF framework version is not supported in newer version of ESP-Home

[clintonmarshall]

Not sure if this is where to post, to help others,

But when trying to compile the firmware for the Senscap indicator on a newly installed Home Assistant 2025.8.2, an error states

INFO ESPHome 2025.8.2
INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/HomeDicator.yaml...
WARNING The selected ESP-IDF framework version is not the recommended one. If there are connectivity or build issues please remove the manual version.

This feature requires at least framework version 5.4.2.

• id: bus_a
  sda: GPIO39
  scl: GPIO40
  scan: False

The Section from HomeDicator/core/config/hardware.yaml show this, but updating the versions doent seem to help.

esp32:
  board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
  variant: esp32s3
  flash_size: 8MB
  framework:
    type: esp-idf
    version: 5.2.2
    platform_version: 6.7.0 **Current Version is 6.12.0 that supports ESP-IDF v 5.5**

Im not skilled in this area, but wanted to note that the build fails, and cant install this awesome firmware

indeed, even when downgrading to the required version of ESP-IDF (5.2.2) build breaks with the following error

INFO ESPHome 2025.8.4
INFO Reading configuration sci_test.yaml...

    scl: GPIO40

When building with the latest version of ESP-IDF (currently 5.5.2) the same error is shown.

Edit:
When you remove the version pinning, all required frameworks will be (re-)downloaded and it builds & deploys without issues.
