ESP32 OTA with ESP Rainmaker (in under 15 mins) with ESP-IDF

Continuing our look at ESP Rainmaker, we run through the step by step process to develop and update applications using OTA or Over the Air with ESP Rainmaker. This example uses an ESP32 rather than ESP 32-S2 or ESP32-C3.

Great And Awesome video hats off to Bro I just Don't have Any words to exclaim

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks Dad.

Thank You

[@Magic-Smoke]

Hello Tom! Thanks for subscribing :)

[@asierdanjou3905]

Thanks for the video. Why do you use VSC only to edit the main source? Isn't it possible to build the project here too? Greetings!

[@Magic-Smoke]

To be honest, it was so long ago I can’t even remember

[@asierdanjou3905]

@@Magic-Smoke ok. Thanks anyway,

[@DarrinLenneLBolden]

Great video, thank you for sharing. Could you explain how to use ESP Rainmaker with ESP ADF?

[@Magic-Smoke]

Hi Darrin, I'm wondering what use-case you're looking for? There are a huge number of applications of the ADF

[@marcarleto79]

Thank you for this video John! Let me ask you something: can I do this CLI stuff to do the Rainmaker OTA but for an ESP32 rainmaker project developed in Arduino IDE?

[@Magic-Smoke]

Hello Marcio. I believe you will. Be able to with the next release which should fix the crashing bug with the Arduino IDE.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

It is bucketing down outside so your Esp-rainmaker seems to be working here! or its just a nornal UK bank holiday. :-)

[@Magic-Smoke]

I had to do something, the grass was getting brown at the edges - lol

[@Sandipmaurya001]

code pls

[@Magic-Smoke]

Hi Sandip, The code I used was the rainmaker examples. Just follow along with the video and it will be fine.

@@Magic-Smoke rainmaker option is not there in vs code

[@Magic-Smoke]

@@Sandipmaurya001 OK, so probably you need to follow this video first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3a8hKGGpNCZbck

I have tried ESP Rainmaker but in comparison with Home Assistant connected to ESP i.e. using ESPhome or so then the entire idea of Rainmaker is ... let's say it does not fit anymore. Espressif tried but I think they put the efforts in wrong place. Also, the documentation for Rainmaker is very poor and so much outdated. Companies tend to start 100 projects, hoping 5 of them will go on and 95 will die.

[@Magic-Smoke]

There's no 'one size fits all ' solution so far. Lots of people with lots of ideas is a good thing ☺️

[@zyghom]

@@Magic-Smoke agree, but it does not change the fact ;-)

[@shubhamsen4572]

@@zyghom That's not the fact btw....and it's a fact

[@rubialugattimoreira1978]

Very very confuse

[@Magic-Smoke]

What do you find confusing?

[@trhosking]

@@Magic-Smoke That it takes 15 minutes to do something in under 10 😉 Great vid though.
