Excellent incursion into OTA updates. I remember years ago I was trying to do this over bluetooth with an atmega and it was a real pain to get everything working. Today with such ecosystems things like OTA updates are much easier to implement. I also liked the way you implemented the version checking on the webserver, well done!

@AndreasSpiess

Thanks for your comment. OTA seems tow work ok now for the ESP. The server side implied some discussions here. I got some ideas out of that and maybe add a second version which does not need the MAC address.

Superbly usefull stuff. Perfectly explained. Thanks again master Speiss.

I love the basic idea. I can think of extending this where the ESP's are subscribing to an "update" channel of a firmware (eg. a led blynk channel or a thermometer channel) and the server publishes an "update" on that channel whenever an update is available for download.

Thanks. I investigate in this direction where the server does not need the MAC address

that's perfect . so many good things can be done easily now. you can possibly use the php to track what esp's have checked in and what ones have not . for a human viewed management page .

the cool thing about this for the house , i could setup a small / local PHP server . as i have used some localhost style servers for testing my other web apps , and the supporting PHP on my local rig before i would upload them to my public servers . I find PHP coding feels much like LUA , but thats just me . I prefer flavors of C . LOL

To circumvent the SSID and PASSWORD singularity in each IoT owner, you can put a file in SPIFFS with all the variables specific to each user. And then the main sketch need to load it in every boot and parse each variable, like SSID or other. The bin update don't need that individual specific info :)

@AndreasSpiess

My proposal has only information for one SSID/PW combination. All my ESPs connect to the same Wi-Fi. For me, this is sufficient, because it can easily be adapted during initial preparation of the ESP. I used EEPROM because I never used SPIFF. So, I do not know how to do it. And the EEPROM seems to be perfect for two variables. But I am sure, t could be done.

Hi Andreas, I really like your video's. I was searching for info on ESP8266 and got to your channel. Since i've found your channel I am watching all your posts and enjoy each and every one of them. Please keep on sharing and ignore any negative comments! (there are always people who like to share criticism, for various reasons including the need for attention :-)) I am setting up your webserver on my pi and will use this to update my esp's. It works like a charm. I also saw your update with an improved version using MD5 which i will implement as well. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge to the public.

Really exciting and In agreement with others, this is the start of something... ! Also about SPIFFS to hold SSID + PWD. A simple regular Arduino IDE sketch could then be used to upload to a new ESP + SPIFFS code. Person can then check Serial output for their MAC address and away it goes. Maybe login to your server to download sketches to their MAC's on file, with whatever the store has from yourself and contributors :)

This is already done in the WiFi Lib. Just use WiFi.begin("", ""); and the already stored SSID and Password is used again. For entering SSID and PWD for the first time you can use WPS. This is how I do it. After reboot, WiFi.begin("", ""); is checked to connect. If not WPS will be started. Works great with my WeMos.

What I would say is that when connecting/designing devices that get data/code from a shared external source, one should consider security. As as demonstration however, as I said, your example is fantastic and I commend you on such a great explanation in such a concise way.

With an open platform, I completely agree with you. I am sure, this problem has to be solved for such platforms, but, maybe I will not be the right person, because I have no clue about these matters .-(

Thanks for the example. Something I've been looking to add is a mechanism to sign the firmware blobs so that the esp will verify that it's a trusted binary before flashing. I've not had a chance to dig into this very much though. This would require baking a key into the firmware and finding an encryption library able to run within the limited resources an esp provides. I think it's quite doable, but I've yet to make the time to try.

I can make a direct connection to my .php file and also the .bin file. Another odd thing is my ESP's MAC it shows as "18:FE:34:E2:F:F5" ie it has a single F as the 5th character, I thought all MAC numbers were two digits. Can you suggest an approach to debugging?

1. Debugging is not easy. I used Wireshark, which is a network monitoring tool, to display the message coming back from the server. But for the moment, this is not necessary, because the server does not know your MAC address and does not return a file. I have added your MAC address now. 2. This is not important. It has to do with the formatting of the print command. Just add a leading zero, which is not printed. You can try it again. Maybe it works

It is not easy to debug this one. This is, why we implemented some help in IOTappstory.com. You have to simulate the call of the ESP with your browser to find out, if you reach the right file. Then, you have to insert some "echo" into the php file to understand, what is lacking or wrong... Did you try with IOTappstory.com? There, you get a log file and you do not need to insert these echo commands.

Good video Andreas i was thinking why do we have to use a signle esp to make the process wireless.So my idea is that we can deticate an esp to be the update manager having thus a signle sketch with the remote update code and be connected(Software Serial) to another esp witch will do all the work i get that this might be a lot more expensive but it would make the update and the hole process mutch more seemless and it would allow not only the remote update of esp but other iot devices sutch as arduinos etc.

Is his only http or can https also be used. Additionally I would "sign" my bin files to ensure nothing strange get deployed. I need to check the OTA upload. I'm able to get a signature from MQTT first and then check the download against it. I think there are some additional open topics to solve...

Nice project and a good approach, keep it up! Some notes / hints: Finding / Exporting the *.bin is actually a lot easier than the process you showed: Simply click on "Sketch > Export compiled binary", it is then placed in your project folder. Another thing that you might want to look into: There is a great Bootstrapping / OTA implementation, that is done by the Blynk team (www.blynk.cc/) - example sketch is called "BlynkProvisioning". I adapted it to my appliances and did not have a single problem until now!

Andreas Spiess This is the one I am using: github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/tree/master/examples/Export_Demo/Blynk_ESP8266 Basically it makes use of the SPIFFS filesystem: github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/EEPROM I formatted the 32Mbit flash chip of my ESP-12E to the 1MB/3MB layout. This section is then used to store the configuration in a non volatile way and as temporary storage for a new firmware on a remotely triggered update. With the default settings, it then listens to the virtual port 100, where you then can push an URL for the update to. This then triggers ESP8266httpUpdate, which downloads the file, check if it is ment for the current running version. If so, it then flashes the downloaded *.bin to the first partition holding the program and reboots. As the config is also stored in the non volatile SPIFFS, it sees that after the reboot and continues it normal operation. Not sure how well I described it, hope it is not too confusing after all... But feel free to ask and I will try to share my limited knowledge. :P

Hallo Andreas, wieder mal ein sehr interessantes Video, vielen Dank dafür.

File not found points to the fact, that the ESP does not find the PHP file. Try the same string with your browser and you should bet an answer. Do not put the HTTP inside the call in the ESP, only in the browser call.

Strange. Can you change the name of the file in the call that it is deliberately wrong and check, if the error message changes? If it changes, it is obvious, that the ESP finds the php file. If the message is the same, then we know, that it does not find the file, even if it is written correctly. Then, we can go on.

Vielen Dank für das super Video ! Hier noch eine Idee für den nächsten Entwicklungsschritt. Kann man nicht einen MD5 summe über das BIN file machen und speichern ? Damit spart man sich einen call zum Webserver. Der wiederum könnte (und sollte) im Header the Response einfach einen eTag = MD5 summe des aktuellen sketch schicken. Wenn sich seid der letzten Version nichts geändert hat ist die quersumme des BIN files immer noch gleich. ... Liebe Grüße aus San Francisco !

Zwei Dinge sind dazu zu sagen: 1. habe ich meine Arbeit auf dem Example der ESP8266 Entwickler basiert. Das hat mich mal wenigstens soweit gebracht. Bei Interesse kann man da sicher noch viel optimieren. Meine PHP Kenntnisse beschränken sich allerdings auf genau diesen Script. Und das auch erst seit ungefähr einer Woche... 2. Das mit dem MD5 ist sicher machbar, aber nicht grundsätzlich unterschiedlich zum im Moment verwendeten Verfahren (ausser der ESP könnte den MD5 selbst berechnen. Das ist aber nicht trivial, da das Binary vermutlich noch Metadaten enthält. Sonst müsste der MD5 manuell erfasst werden (wobei der sich vermutlich nochmals ändert, wenn man ihn ins Binary kopiert...). Oder habe ich etwas noch nicht verstanden? Ich habe in den Kommentaren zwei Vorschläge bekommen, die ich nächste Woche mal analysieren werde. Vielleicht gibt's ja dann ein Update. Grüsse nach San Francisco. Geniess es!
