  112. <p>
  113. To try it out and install
  114. <a href="https://esphome.io">the ESPHome firmware</a>, connect an ESP to
  115. your computer and hit the button:

  117. <esp-web-install-button

  119. manifest="static/firmware_build/manifest.json"

  122. <i>
  123. Note, this only works in desktop Chrome and Edge. Android support
  124. should be possible but has not been implemented yet. If you don't see
  125. your ESP device, you might miss <a href="#drivers">drivers</a>.
  126. </i>
  127. </p>
  128. <p>
  129. This works by combining

  213. Add the attribute <code>erase-first</code> if you want to first fully
  214. erase the ESP prior to installation.

  216. <p>
  217. ESP Web Tools can also be integrated in your projects by installing it
  218. via NPM:<br />
  219. <code>npm install --save esp-web-tools</code>
  220. </p>
  221. <h3 id="manifest">Creating your manifest</h3>
  222. <p>
  223. ESP Web Tools manifest describe the firmware that you want to install.
  224. It allows specifying different builds for the different types of ESP
  225. devices. Current supported devices are ESP8266, ESP32 and ESP32-S2. The
  226. correct build will be automatically selected based on the type of the
  227. ESP device we detect via the serial port.
  228. </p>

  230. {
  231. "name": "ESPHome",

  252. <p>
  253. Each build contains a list of parts to be flashed to the ESP device.
  254. Each part consists of a path to the file and an offset on the flash
  255. where it should be installed. Part paths are resolved relative to the
  256. path of the manifest, but can also be URLs to other hosts.
  257. </p>
  258. <p>
  259. Each build also allows you to specify if it supports
  260. <a href="https://www.improv-wifi.com">the Improv Wi-Fi standard</a>. If
  261. it does, the user will be offered to configure the Wi-Fi after
  262. installation is done as can be seen in the video below.

  275. <h3 id="customize">Customizing the look and feel</h3>
  276. <p>
  277. There are multiple options to change the look and feel of the button and
  278. other elements.
  279. </p>
  280. <h4>Change colors</h4>
  281. <p>
  282. You can change the colors of the default UI elements with CSS custom
  283. properties (variables), the following variables are available:
  284. </p>
  285. <ul>
  286. <li><code>--esp-tools-button-color</code></li>
  287. <li><code>--esp-tools-button-text-color</code></li>
  288. <li><code>--esp-tools-success-color</code></li>
  289. <li><code>--esp-tools-error-color</code></li>
  290. <li><code>--esp-tools-progress-color</code></li>
  291. <li><code>--esp-tools-log-background</code></li>
  292. <li><code>--esp-tools-log-text-color</code></li>
  293. </ul>
  294. <p>There are also some attributes that can be used for styling:</p>
  295. <table>
  296. <tr>
  297. <td><code>install-supported</code></td>
  298. <td>Added if installing firmware is supported</td>
  299. </tr>
  300. <tr>
  301. <td>
  302. <code>install-unsupported</code>
  303. </td>
  304. <td>Added if installing firmware is not supported</td>
  305. </tr>
  306. <tr>
  307. <td><code>active</code></td>
  308. <td>Added when flashing is active</td>
  309. </tr>
  310. </table>
  311. <p>
  312. When you are using a custom button, you should disable it when the
  313. <code>active</code> attribute is present.
  314. </p>
  315. <h4>Replace the button and message with a custom one</h4>
  316. <p>
  317. You can replace both the activation button and the message that is shown
  318. when the user uses an unsupported browser or non-secure context with
  319. your own elements. This can be done using the <code>activate</code>,
  320. <code>unsupported</code> and <code>not-allowed</code> slots:
  321. </p>
  322. <pre>
  323. &lt;esp-web-install-button
  324. manifest="static/firmware_build/manifest.json"
  325. show-log
  326. erase-first
  327. >
  328. &lt;button slot="activate">Custom install button&lt;/button>
  329. &lt;span slot="unsupported">Ah snap, your browser doesn't work!&lt;/span>
  330. &lt;span slot="not-allowed">Ah snap, you are not allowed to use this on HTTP!&lt;/span>
  331. &lt;/esp-web-install-button>
  332. </pre
  333. >
  334. <h4>Show or hide the progress bar and log</h4>
  335. <p>
  336. By default there is a progress bar showing the state and progress of the
  337. flashing progress, you can change this progress bar to a log view with
  338. the <code>show-log</code> attribute.
  339. </p>
  340. <p>
  341. You can also hide all progress indicators by adding the
  342. <code>hide-progress</code>
  343. attribute. This will hide both the progress bar and the log view. You
  344. can then implement your own progress elements using the
  345. <a href="#state-events">state events</a>.
  346. </p>
  347. <h3 id="state-events">State events</h3>
  348. <p>
  349. During the flash progress the button will fire
  350. <code>state-changed</code> events for every step of the progress and to
  351. signal progress in the writing.
  352. </p>
  353. <p>
  354. With these events you can create your own progress UI or trigger certain
  355. actions. You can also find the current state as the
  356. <code>state</code> property of the
  357. <code>esp-web-install-button</code> element.
  358. </p>
  359. <p>Events for the following states are fired:</p>
  360. <ul>
  361. <li>initializing</li>
  362. <li>manifest</li>
  363. <li>preparing</li>
  364. <li>erasing</li>
  365. <li>writing</li>
  366. <li>finished</li>
  367. <li>error</li>
  368. </ul>
  369. <p>
  370. A <code>state-changed</code> event contains the following information:
  371. </p>
  372. <table>
  373. <tr>
  374. <td><code>state</code></td>
  375. <td>The current state; one of the above</td>
  376. </tr>
  377. <tr>
  378. <td><code>message</code></td>
  379. <td>A description of the current state</td>
  380. </tr>
  381. <tr>

  389. <tr>
  390. <td><code>chipFamily</code></td>
  391. <td>
  392. The chip that was detected;
  393. <code>"ESP32" | "ESP8266" | "ESP32-S2" | "Unknown Chip"</code>
  394. </td>
  395. </tr>
  396. <tr>
  397. <td><code>details</code></td>
  398. <td>
