I am unable to get my Athom v2 plugs to adopt. Here is the error.

It looks like the plug is forcing the domain to .local and my local domain is different. I've tried everything I can to get this to work such as setting a static IP address but I've had no luck. The strange thing is the plug appears in Home Assistant as an integration so I can set it up there and use it. Not being able to adopt it in ESPHome means I can't update it or modify the yaml.
Any assistance would be most appreciated. This is far from plug and play.
I had the same error 8 out of 9 times. It worked once. Every time this was fixed by clicking retry.
