Old ota getting in the way

[mcfarlde]

I am updating from the an old NSPanel solution using esphome in which I had set ota password. I cannot determine how to add this to the new initial yaml to allow flashing over the air. I have tried:

ota:
 platform: "esphome"
 password: "password" 

and all variants with and without quotes. The stock yaml, without the ota addition, seems to use my wifi password for the ota password when looking at the results of a validate.

Please try this:

# Use my global OTA password
ota:
  - id: !extend ota_std
    password: your_ota_password
