EPS8266-01 in Home Assistant - Problem

ESPHome
1

Hi everyone, I’m quite a beginner with HA I’m just learning. I’m trying to load FW via ESP Home to 8266-01 according to the instructions, see the link below. The compilation is fine, but writing to the board reports an error, I googled something about reducing the communication speed, but I don’t know how. Can someone please advise me? I used this page as a guide: http://www.emcu.eu/esphome-for-drive-eps...assistant/. After trying to write to the record, it writes this, at the very bottom:

How do you have it wired to the computer?

3

You need to connect GPIO0 to GND while powering on to put the device into flash mode.
