ESPHome LVGL vs openHASP

With all due respect, the topic is about “porting of a smart touchscreen switch from openHASP to ESPHome” (post #1), so @janick applied ESPHome on top of a previously flashed openHASP device. maybe multiple times.

I just want to know if somenone has done this over the air, since there is no information on how it was done on the post.

Firmwares can have different flash memory partitions, applying ESPHome to a openHASP device over OTA can render the device unusable (bricked) if these partitions do not align.

Also taking out the L8 off the wall and leaving part of the lights unusable while I apply ESPHome requires more planning and time.

Google did not help either.

I hope you understand this is not a low effort question - well kind of is because I would rather not take the device off the wall.

So, if someone has tried before, I would really appreciate a report on that experience, as I can wait a few days to hear from this community. If no one knows, I will be glad to do it.

If no one else answers, I would take the safe route of taking it off the wall.

Or buy another one with the intention to have one spare.
That way the downtime can be just the hardware switch.

You cannot go from openHasp to ESPHome over the air.

Since upgrading from openHASP 6 to 7 could not be done over the air either, I took the opportunity to switch it to ESPHome. Once ESPHome was on-board, only OTA updates after that.
