ESP32 OTA (Over-the-Air) Updates using AsyncElegantOTA: Arduino IDE or VS Code (ESP8266 NodeMCU)

In this video, you’ll learn how to do over-the-air (OTA) updates to your ESP32 or ESP8266 NodeMCU boards using the AsyncElegantOTA library. You can use Arduino IDE or VS Code with PlatformIO IDE. The Async Elegant OTA library creates a web server that allows you to update new firmware (a new sketch) to your board without the need to make a serial connection between the ESP32/ESP8266 and your computer.
Additionally, with this library you can also upload new files to the ESP filesystem (SPIFFS or LittleFS). The library is very easy to use and it’s compatible with the ESPAsyncWebServer library that we use often to build web server projects.

I really search for this so long time.... thanks!

[@wretchedfibs4306]

Good fun. I am up to the first part of the tutorial with toggle gpio 2 on esp-32 cam and changed it to gpio 4 to turn on the super bright onboard LED light. Thank you and Ayush for the program and libraries. Will try the flesystem upload part later.

Saudações Rui Através desse método, é possível mudar, por exemplo, o SSID e a Senha do esp8266 ou esp32 remotamente na mesma rede? Se não, teria uma forma de fazer isso? Obrigado

Hi. Hello. How can we use virtual button instead of GPIO Pins? Thanks for the video.

[@roolon6604]

@Rui Santos thank you for this tutorial. I want to use it do OTA update firmware on my ESP32 but from time to time and I want not to run it all over the time. Connect to my WiFi network, generate mini web server and the rest only for example when I press a microswitch during boot up (plug 5V to ESP board). Otherwise it could slow down my main loop. What do you suggest?

[@ilkeraykut7064]

Thanks for great tutorial but how can we do this with sim800l not Wifi?I have a website and my esp connects to that website through sim800l and communicates with mqtt server.

[@piconano]

👍

[@AndroidJeek]

Great tutorial! I am currently using this OTA. I have questions though, will the OTA break if I will upload a firmware that doesn't have the code with the OTA on it? Cause I tried it and the webserver is still up (even though the new firmware doesn't have the OTA codes) What if I want to remove that OTA functionality?

Hi. Is it possible to install .bin to esp downloading it from the URL? Thank you

[@adamclarkson]

Does this still require an ota partition?

[@alissongomes2145]

Funciona junto com o Blynk ?

[@jensschroder8214]

I use ElegantOTA instead of AsyncElegantOTA. AsyncElegantOTA does not compile a program only an compile Error. But ElegantOTA works.

[@zyghom]

how about OTA to the ESP that is going to deep sleep after 5 seconds of running? I can think of many solutions, i.e. the MQTT message that is retained and when ESP wakes up it checks and and does not sleep but rather waits for update. But maybe I am trying to open the door that someone opened already? second: there is completely NO PROTECTION of someone uploading new sketch into your ESP... ;-)

@Rui Santos it makes no sense to keep a cable connection to build .bin and then sending via Wi-Fi it must be a other solution - fully remote Do You have it?

[@rollyavecilla]

will this work with the WiFiManager?

[@hammershigh]

Does this method actually works? In contrast to the former, which I have never seen any to get to work.

[@billferner6741]

Sorry, that example is NOT working with me. Error cause is missing or not found library 'AsyncTCP.h'. Was it replaced again?

[@rafaellauxen3577]

Download github.com/me-no-dev/AsyncTCP/archive/master.zip, This library isn’t available to install through the Arduino Library Manager, in your Arduino IDE, you can go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .zip Library and select the library you’ve just downloaded.

[@sohan2510]

Aren't there any way to make the 'update' page password protected ! As now, anyone in my network can access to the address & change the code. So i need to secure it, so only after giving correct password one can access the 'update' page.

I'm trying to upload my .bin file into ESP32CAM through OTA, but is occurring a problem...The web page shows up well and I can choose the .bin file, however after show up 100%, doesn't appear the message OTA Succes and the button BACK. The web page stay on 100% message always. After that the ESP32 CAM reboot and run the old firmware. Can you help me with this issue?

[@mohammeddavidzhang-singh5846]

@@RuiSantosdotme Great tutorial - no doubt! But it does not work with ESP32 CAM in my case. Depending on the bin file the upload is extremely fast (less than a second) at 54 resp. 58% and stops at this value (failure is perfect reproducible). The bin files have a size of 932 resp. 872 KB. The old firmware is still at the ESP32 CAM. With a "standard" ESP32 module w/o cam, it works perfect.

[@kelvynjose8067]

Add board_build.partitions = min_spiffs.csv to the plataformio.ini file that will work. It is necessary to add in all esp32cam recordings. :)

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh]

The audio is all off, like you turned up the base or something.

[@adapso3010]

OTA is a great solution, but the way it is presented is not efficient. What is the advantage of doing an update while on the same network? The ideal is remote updating using a file server, so I suggest searching for HTTP Updade, it is much more effective. OTA é uma grande solução, porém da forma que é apresentada não é eficiente. Qual a vantagem de se fazer uma atualização estando na mesma rede? O ideal é atualização remota com uso de servidor de arquivos, então sugiro buscar por HTTP Updade, é muito mais eficaz.

[@flicka401]

There are two other REQUIRED library's that must be installed, you make it sound on the video just 'install OTA' and go, but this is not true, so the question begs to be asked, did you even bother to try and do a 'virgin install'?? I think that often you have lots of library's already installed and you just assume that everybody else has the same 'environ' as you, but sadly, people come to these videos to do the 'OTA', and follow the directions. I highly advise you to to create virgin fresh install 'arduino' and get the OTA to work, and explain from that point of view. Otherwise people can waste a ton of time following your directions.

[@RuiSantosdotme]

Thanks for the suggestion, please read our blog post and you'll find all the steps. Regards, Rui

[@mikoaj1321]

You are absolutely right. I've wasted many hours already going down the rabbit hole because the other two libraries cannot be installed via Arduino IDE.
