How to OTA flash sleeping esphome sensor

ESPHome
9

It’s been a while since I did this. I have an ESP01 in my Jeep that I use for presence.
If the ESP connects, then the Jeep is present.
I use a binary helper that I turn on on the dashboard that is basically a semaphore to tell the ESP that I want it to not go to sleep. The test_ota script in the code below is where this is tested when the ESP boots.

So, my sequence is:

  1. Turn on OTA mode.
  2. Wait for the sleep period to end, then the ESP reboots and will not go to sleep.
  3. Perform my OTA upload.
  4. Turn off the OTA mode.
  5. Press “Restart” on the dashboard to reboot the ESP.
