Reset to system defaults

[mgennip]

I know it is possible to reset to system defaults by giving the 'reset' command via the serial interface.
ESP will then appear as ESP_0 just like a new flashed ESP.

Is it possible to reset the system by rules? For example if a switch at GPIO is pushed the reset will take place?

I can always add this feature to my system with a very small PIC processor, but if it can be done in the firmware
saves me space on my PCB.

Maybe a feature request?

thank you.

It should be possible.
Just add Switch Input in Devices.
Eg.
Name: S1
GPIO 14
Value Name: Switch

then in rules add:
on S1#Switch=1.00 do
reset
endon

*for tests it's better change "reset" to "reboot"

I found a solution;

When connecting Tx and Rx together during bootup, it will bring ESP to it's virgin state. After that, you can see ESP_0 in your AP list and connect to it.

Could you please tell me how ?

Unfortunatly this doesn't work at home !!

On ESP board connect TX and RX together, power up the board and remove the TX RX shortcut. Flash will be erased, this takes some time, then ESP_0 will appear on your laptop's AP list.
