The config has the standard safe_mode button but lacks two other ESPHome boilerplate entities that save serial-cable trips:
restart — soft-reboot the ESP without power-cycling the PSU. Useful for applying a config change after OTA, or recovering a wedged Modbus link.factory_reset — wipes WiFi creds and persisted preferences. Recovers a unit moved between networks without serial access; captive portal comes up on the fallback hotspot after reset.
