I have HA running on an Intel NUC and I access it from my computer over the home network.

 

In my browser, in front of the ip address it says "Not secure". Today when I was wanting to use ESPHome it came up with this message,"Limited functionality because you're not browsing the dashboard over a secure connection (HTTPS)."

ESPHome was recently updated to allow flashing of devices via the browser accessing the device via USB, this requires HTTPS. That is what the warning relates to.

Look oiut foe the Let's Encrypt   Home Asssistant Add-on if you want to set up an https connection to your HA instance.

 

Alternatively, Nabu Casa (monthly sub) should get you there too
