ESPHome binding for the Native API

Does anyone have an idea, why the host entry doesn‘t stay as configured, and how I maybe can change this „shell-dpm.local.“ as default?

Yes. See mDNS discovery result overwrites existing thing configuration/property · Issue #3753 · openhab/openhab-core · GitHub
TLDR: It’s a feature, not a bug of openHAB. The suggested workaround in OH just got stalled, so I suggest you define the thing in a file to deny openHAB overwriting the address.

Second question: I did not figure out any valid configuration for „ ESPHome device server name“ - the solution esphome.“name“ does not work. As long as I keep it empty, the connection works (for some hours).

See ESPHome binding for the Native API - #175 by seime . But this does not work for you? Please send logs via PM and I’ll take a look.
