Sonoff POW R2

[azonneveld]

Just a simple question: which binary should I use for the Sonoff POW R2?

In the past there was a special pow2 firmware, but it seems that one is not included in the recent releases anymore.

hard_Sonoff_POW build.
It includes the plugins for both the POW r1 and the r2.

The latest release only contains: "ESP_Easy_mega_20240229_hard_other_POW_ESP8285_1M"

I have a pow r2, which has an 8266 chip.
Currently I'm running: ESP_Easy_mega_20230623_hard_SONOFF_POW_4M1M

Is the 8266 version missing from the current release or can I use the 8285 version instead?

If you are currently running a 4M1M build, then DON't install a 1M build on top of that, you will lose your settings!!!

There is still a hard_SONOFF_POW_4M1M build available for the 20240229 release, so that can be used on your device, as it also includes the plugins for the POW R2.

The ESP8266 builds auto-detect if they are running on an ESP8285, and allow to configure the extra GPIO pins. But that's actually only applicable for 1M builds, as the ESP8285 is only available in 1MB Flash configuration, while ESP8266 is available with 1MB, 2MB, 4MB and 16MB (very rare) Flash.

Ah, so I'm wrong
The last Release build doesn't have that build included in the 82xx zip file. I'll look into that right away.

Here's the last merge-build for the configuration you're using:

Bin-ESP8266-hard_SONOFF_POW_4M1M-20240321_PR__8382805334.zip

Edit:
Did investigate why some files are missing from the 20240229 release .zip files, and this has to do with a failure during building that release, and it being manually assembled. Some of the files just aren't included in the .zip files

We have a follow-up release planned for this month, so this should be resolved by the corrections already made.
