- <h2>How it works</h2>
- <p>
- ESP Web Tools works by combining
- <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Web_Serial_API"
- >Web Serial</a
- >, <a href="https://www.improv-wifi.com/">Improv Wi-Fi</a> (optional),
- and a manifest which describes the firmware. ESP Web Tools detects the
- chipset of the connected ESP device and automatically selects the right
- firmware variant from the manifest.
- </p>
- <p>
- Web Serial is available in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge
- browsers<span class="not-supported-i hidden">
- (but not on your iOS device)</span
- >. This includes Android.
- </p>
- <h3 id="improv">Configuring Wi-Fi</h3>
- <p>
- ESP Web Tools supports the
- <a href="https://www.improv-wifi.com/serial"
- >Improv Wi-Fi serial standard</a
- >. This is an open standard to allow configuring Wi-Fi via the serial
- port.
- </p>
- <p>
- If the firmware supports Improv, a user will be asked to connect the
- device to the network after installing the firmware. Once connected, the
- device can send the user to a URL to finish configuration. For example,
- this can be a link to the device's IP address where it serves a local
- UI.
- </p>
- <p>
- At any time in the future a user can use ESP Web Tools to find the
- device link or to reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings without doing a
- reinstall.
- </p>

- />
- <i>Screenshot showing the ESP Web Tools interface</i>
- </p>
- <h3 id="logs">Viewing logs & sending commands</h3>
- <p>
- ESP Web Tools allows users to open a serial console to see the logs and
- send commands.
- </p>
- <p class="screenshot">

- src="./static/screenshots/logs.png"
- alt="Screenshot showing ESP Web Tools dialog with a console showing ESPHome logs and a terminal prompt to sent commands."

- </p>
- <h2 id="add-website">Adding ESP Web Tools to your website</h2>
- <p>
- To add this to your own website, you need to include the ESP Web Tools
- JavaScript files on your website, create a manifest file and add the ESP
- Web Tools button HTML.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a href="https://github.com/balloob/squeezelite-esp32-install"
- >Click here to see a full example.</a
- >
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Step 1:</b> Load ESP Web Tools JavaScript on your website by adding
- the following HTML snippet.
- </p>
- <pre>
- <script
- type="module"
- src="https://unpkg.com/esp-web-tools@10/dist/web/install-button.js?module"
- ></script></pre
- >
- <p>
- (If you prefer to locally host the JavaScript,
- <a href="https://unpkg.com/browse/esp-web-tools/dist/web/"
- >download it here</a
- >)
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Step 2:</b> Find a place on your page where you want the button to
- appear and include the following bit of HTML. Update the
- <code>manifest</code> attribute to point at your manifest file.
- </p>
- <pre>
- <esp-web-install-button
- manifest="https://firmware.esphome.io/esp-web-tools/manifest.json"
- ></esp-web-install-button></pre
- >
- <p>
- <b>Note:</b> ESP Web Tools requires that your website is served over
- <code>https://</code> to work. This is a Web Serial security
- requirement.
- </p>
- <p>
- If your manifest or the firmware files are hosted on another server,
- make sure you configure
- <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS"
- >the CORS-headers</a
- >
- such that your website is allowed to fetch those files by adding the
- header
- <code
- >Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://domain-of-your-website.com</code
- >.
- </p>
- <p>
- ESP Web Tools can also be integrated in your projects by installing it
- <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/esp-web-tools">via NPM</a>.
- </p>
- <h3 id="preparing-firmware">Preparing your firmware</h3>
- <p>
- If you have ESP32 firmware and are using ESP-IDF framework v4 or later,
- you will need to create a merged version of your firmware before being
- able to use it with ESP Web Tools. If you use ESP8266 or ESP32 with
- ESP-IDF v3 or earlier, you can skip this section.
- </p>
- <p>
- ESP32 firmware is split into 4 different files. When these files are
- installed using the command-line tool <code>esptool</code>, it will
- patch flash frequency, flash size and flash mode to match the target
- device. ESP Web Tools is not able to do this on the fly, so you will
- need to use <code>esptool</code> to create the single binary file and
- use that with ESP Web Tools.
- </p>
- <p>
- Create a single binary using <code>esptool</code> with the following
- command:
- </p>
- <pre>
- esptool --chip esp32 merge_bin \
- -o merged-firmware.bin \
- --flash_mode dio \
- --flash_freq 40m \
- --flash_size 4MB \
- 0x1000 bootloader.bin \
- 0x8000 partitions.bin \
- 0xe000 boot.bin \
- 0x10000 your_app.bin</pre
- >
- <p>
- If your memory type is <code>opi_opi</code> or <code>opi_qspi</code>,
- set your flash mode to be <code>dout</code>. Else, if your flash mode is
- <code>qio</code> or <code>qout</code>, override your flash mode to be
- <code>dio</code>.
- </p>
- <h3 id="manifest">Creating your manifest</h3>
- <p>
- Manifests describe the firmware that you want to offer the user to
- install. It allows specifying different builds for the different types
- of ESP devices. Current supported chip families are
- <code>ESP8266</code>, <code>ESP32</code>, <code>ESP32-C2</code>,
- <code>ESP32-C3</code>, <code>ESP32-C6</code>, <code>ESP32-H2</code>,
- <code>ESP32-S2</code> and <code>ESP32-S3</code>. The correct build will
- be automatically selected based on the type of the connected ESP device.
- </p>
- <pre>
- {
- "name": "ESPHome",
- "version": "2021.11.0",
- "home_assistant_domain": "esphome",
- "funding_url": "https://esphome.io/guides/supporters.html",
- "new_install_prompt_erase": false,
- "builds": [
- {
- "chipFamily": "ESP32",
- "parts": [
- { "path": "merged-firmware.bin", "offset": 0 },
- ]
- },
- {
- "chipFamily": "ESP8266",
- "parts": [
- { "path": "esp8266.bin", "offset": 0 }
- ]
- }
- ]
- }</pre
- >
- <p>
- Each build contains a list of parts to be installed to the ESP device.
- Each part consists of a path to the file and an offset on the flash
- where it should be installed. Part paths are resolved relative to the
- path of the manifest, but can also be URLs to other hosts.
- </p>
- <p>
- If your firmware is supported by Home Assistant, you can add the
- optional key <code>home_assistant_domain</code>. If present, ESP Web
- Tools will link the user to add this device to Home Assistant.
- </p>
- <p>
- By default a new installation will erase all data before installation.
- If you want to leave this choice to the user, set the optional manifest
- key
- <code>new_install_prompt_erase</code> to <code>true</code>. ESP Web
- Tools offers users a new installation if it is unable to detect the
- current firmware of the device (via Improv Serial) or if the detected
- firmware does not match the name specififed in the manifest.
- </p>
- <p>
- When a firmware is first installed on a device, it might need to do some
- time consuming tasks like initializing the file system. By default ESP
- Web Tools will wait 10 seconds to receive an Improv Serial response to
- indicate that the boot is completed. You can increase this timeout by
- setting the optional manifest key
- <code>new_install_improv_wait_time</code> to the number of seconds to
- wait. Set to <code>0</code> to disable Improv Serial detection.
- </p>
- <p>
- If your product accepts donations you can add
- <code>funding_url</code> to your manifest. This allows you to link to
- your page explaining the user how they can fund development. This link
- is visible in the ESP Web Tools menu when connected to a device running
- your firmware (as detected via Improv).
- </p>
- <p>
- ESP Web Tools allows you to provide your own check if the device is
- running the same firmware as specified in the manifest. This check can
- be setting the <code>overrides</code> property on
- <code><esp-web-install-button></code>. The value is an object
- containing a
- <code>checkSameFirmware(manifest, improvInfo)</code> function. The
- <code>manifest</code> parameter is your manifest and
- <code>improvInfo</code> is the information returned from Improv:
- <code>{ name, firmware, version, chipFamily }</code>. This check is only
- called if the device firmware was detected via Improv.
- </p>
- <pre>
- const button = document.querySelector('esp-web-install-button');
- button.overrides = {
- checkSameFirmware(manifest, improvInfo) {
- const manifestFirmware = manifest.name.toLowerCase();
- const deviceFirmware = improvInfo.firmware.toLowerCase();
- return manifestFirmware.includes(deviceFirmware);
- }
- };</pre
- >
- <h3 id="customize">Customizing the look and feel</h3>
- <p>
- You can change the colors of the default UI elements with CSS custom
- properties (variables), the following variables are available:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li><code>--esp-tools-button-color</code></li>
- <li><code>--esp-tools-button-text-color</code></li>
- <li><code>--esp-tools-button-border-radius</code></li>
- </ul>
- <p>There are also some attributes that can be used for styling:</p>
- <table>
- <tr>
- <td><code>install-supported</code></td>
- <td>Added if installing firmware is supported</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td>
- <code>install-unsupported</code>
- </td>
- <td>Added if installing firmware is not supported</td>
- </tr>
- </table>
- <h4>Replace the button and message with a custom one</h4>
- <p>
- You can replace both the activation button and the message that is shown
- when the user uses an unsupported browser or non-secure context with
- your own elements. This can be done using the <code>activate</code>,
- <code>unsupported</code> and <code>not-allowed</code> slots:
- </p>
- <pre>
- <esp-web-install-button
- manifest="https://firmware.esphome.io/esp-web-tools/manifest.json"
- >
- <button slot="activate">Custom install button</button>
- <span slot="unsupported">Ah snap, your browser doesn't work!</span>
- <span slot="not-allowed">Ah snap, you are not allowed to use this on HTTP!</span>
