'Platform' key error while attempting to update to ESPHome 2025.2.0

@nate Hoping someone can assist me with my Home Assistant configuration for my Smart Garage Door Opener white version that today is getting a ‘platform’ error due to the new ESPHome 2025.2.0 update. My configuration looks as such:
substitutions:
name: garage-door-6f65e9
friendly_name: Garage Door Opener
garage_door_close_warning_duration: 10s
packages:
konnected.garage-door-esp8266: github://konnected-io/konnected-esphome/garage-door-esp8266.yaml@master
esphome:
name: ${name}
name_add_mac_suffix: false
friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:
encryption:
key: blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah=
wifi:
ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
password: !secret wifi_password

Error is reporting the following:
Please remove the platform key from the [esphome] block and use the correct platform component. This style of configuration has now been removed.
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I just updated our ESP8266 core package for this change. Wait a few minutes then retry, it should work now.
