OTA question

#1 Post by BertB » 04 Aug 2021, 13:43

Hi all,

Thank you, first of all thanks for all the good work.
I still have a question with respect to the update possibility of my Sonoff 4.
I noticed that only FHEM versions with OTA are available (the ESP_Easy_mega_20210802_minimal_core_274_ESP8285_1M_OTA_FHEM_HA.bin)
Is there any chance that the Domoticz version will be released?

The Domoticz version still was slightly too big on the last build.
But I still got some ideas to try, so I hope to get it to fit again.

Only for curiosity, what is the speciality of this version and what can the Domoticz version do?

ESP8266, ESPEasy (always latest mega release in use :D ), and Domoticz (only beta versions :) )

It has a small enough footprint to fit in a ESP8285 that is mounted in some Sonoff devices.
The Domoticz variant makes it integrate with Domoticz.

Yep, the "minimal OTA" builds are meant to be upgradable via OTA on 1M nodes like a lot of Sonoff devices have.
However you still need to use the "2-step-OTA" binary as intermediate, but at least you don't need to re-open the device to upgrade the firmware.

To keep them as small as possible, I created 2 versions (apart from the ESP8266/ESP8285 options):
- One for use with FHEM/OpenHAB etc.
- One for use with Domoticz.

It is highly unlikely one needs both FHEM/OpenHAB and Domoticz as their user base is almost mutual exclusive.
So that's why I split it like this.
But the minimal OTA builds for Domoticz are still too big to be able to perform OTA updates, so still work to do.

Hi all,

Is there some update on this question?
Will there be an update for the Domoticz capable OTA version for the Sonoff 4?
