OTA Update Component

:description: Instructions for setting up Over-The-Air (OTA) updates for ESPs to upload firmwares remotely.

.. _config-ota:
|
|
|
|
With the OTA (Over The Air) update component you can upload your
|
|
firmware binaries to your node without having to use a USB cable for
|
|
uploads. ESPHome natively supports this through its ``run`` and
|
|
``upload`` helper scripts.
|
|
|
|
ESPHome also has an "OTA safe mode". If for some reason your
|
|
node gets into a boot loop, ESPHome will automatically try to detect
|
|
this and will go over into a safe mode after the configured unsuccessful boot
|
|
attempts (Defaults to ``10``). In that mode, all components are disabled and only Serial
|
|
Logging+WiFi+OTA are initialized, so that you can upload a new binary.
|
|

# Example configuration entry
|
|
ota:
|
|
safe_mode: true
|
|
password: VERYSECURE
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- **safe_mode** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to enable safe mode.
|
|
Defaults to ``true``.
|
|
- **password** (*Optional*, string): The password to use for updates.
|
|
- **port** (*Optional*, int): The port to use for OTA updates. Defaults
|
|
to ``3232`` for the ESP32 and ``8266`` for the ESP8266.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
|
- **reboot_timeout** (*Optional*, :ref:`time <config-time>`): The amount of time to wait before rebooting when in
|
|
safe mode. Defaults to ``5min``.
|
|
- **num_attempts** (*Optional*, int): The number of attempts to wait before entering safe mode. Defaults to ``10``.
|
|
- **on_begin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation<automation>`): An action to be
|
|
performed when an OTA update is started. See :ref:`ota-on_begin`.
|
|
- **on_progress** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation<automation>`): An action to be
|
|
performed (multiple times) during an OTA update. See :ref:`ota-on_progress`.
|
|
- **on_end** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation<automation>`): An action to be
|
|
performed after a successful OTA update. See :ref:`ota-on_end`.
|
|
- **on_error** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation<automation>`): An action to be
|
|
performed after a failed OTA update. See :ref:`ota-on_error`.
|
|
- **on_state_change** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation<automation>`): An action to be
|
|
performed when an OTA update state change happens. See :ref:`ota-on_state_change`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that ESP8266 modules must be reset after a serial
|
|
upload before OTA can work.
|
|
When you are trying to conduct an OTA update and receive an error message
|
|
``Bad Answer: ERR: ERROR[11]: Invalid bootstrapping`` the reason is
|
|
very likely that power-cycling the ESP module is required once after
|
|
the serial upload.

OTA Automation
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The OTA component provides various automations that can be used to provide feedback
|
|
during an OTA update. There are a few things to consider when making use of the
|
|
provided automation triggers:
|
|
|
|
- An OTA update blocks the main loop during its operation. This means that you
|
|
won't be able to represent state changes using components that update their
|
|
output only from within their ``loop()`` method. Explained differently: if you
|
|
try to display the OTA progress using component X, but the update only appears
|
|
after the OTA update finished, then component X cannot be used for providing
|
|
OTA update feedback.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that your automation actions do not take too much time, to prevent
|
|
them from blocking the OTA update code for too long.
|
|
|
|
.. _ota-on_begin:
|
|
|
|
``on_begin``
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
This automation will be triggered when an OTA update is started.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ota:
|
|
on_begin:
|
|
then:
|
|
- logger.log: "OTA start"
|
|
|
|
.. _ota-on_progress:
|
|
|
|
``on_progress``
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
Using this automation, it is possible to report on the OTA update progress.
|
|
It will be triggered multiple times during the OTA update. You can get the actual
|
|
progress percentage (a value between 0 and 100) from the trigger with variable ``x``.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ota:
|
|
on_progress:
|
|
then:
|
|
- logger.log:
|
|
format: "OTA progress %0.1f%%"
|
|
args: ["x"]
|
|
|
|
.. _ota-on_end:
|
|
|
|
``on_end``
|
|
**********
|
|
|
|
This automation will be triggered when an OTA update has completed successfully,
|
|
right before the device is rebooted.
|
|
|
|
Because the update has completed, you can safely use an automation action that
|
|
takes some time to complete. This can for example be useful if you want to flash
|
|
a LED or so, in which case a pause would be required to make the LED light up
|
|
for long enough, before the reboot turns it off.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ota:
|
|
on_end:
|
|
then:
|
|
- logger.log: "OTA end"
|
|
|
|
.. _ota-on_error:
|
|
|
|
``on_error``
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
This automation will be triggered when an OTA update has failed. You can get
|
|
the internal error code with variable ``x``.
|
|
|
|
Just like for :ref:`ota-on_end`, you can safely use an automation that
|
|
takes some time to complete, because the OTA update is no longer busy.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ota:
|
|
on_error:
|
|
then:
|
|
- logger.log:
|
|
format: "OTA update error %d"
|
|
args: ["x"]
|
|
|
|
.. _ota-on_state_change:
|
|
|
|
``on_state_change``
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
This automation will be triggered on every state change. You can get the actual
|
|
state with variable ``state``, which will contain one of values for the OTAState
|
|
enum. These values are:
|
|
|
|
- ``ota::OTA_STARTED``
|
|
- ``ota::OTA_IN_PROGRESS`` (will be called multiple times during the update)
|
|
- ``ota::OTA_COMPLETED``
|
|
- ``ota::OTA_ERROR``
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ota:
|
|
on_state_change:
|
|
then:
|
|
- if:
|
|
condition:
|
|
lambda: return state == ota::OTA_STARTED
|
|
then:
|
|
- logger.log: "OTA start"
|
|
|
|
Updating the password:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Since the password is used both for compiling and uploading the regular ``esphome <file> run``
|
|
won't work of course. This issue can be worked around by executing the operations separately
|
|
through an ``on_boot`` trigger:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
esphome:
|
|
on_boot:
|
|
- lambda: |-
|
|
id(my_ota).set_auth_password("New password");
|
|
ota:
|
|
password: "Old password"
|
|
id: my_ota
|
|
|
