Trying to flash OTA a Sonoff POW, connection refused

ESPHome
1

Hi, trying to flash a Sonoff POW 1, which has Tasmota 6.3.0. I pressed reset on the tasmota menu, connecting to the sonoff via my smartphone (192.168.4.1) and added only my WiFi data (SSID/password).
IP is static and I can connect to the Sonoff with Tasmota.

On HASSIO now I try to do ota, but receive this error

DATA: [==== ] 39.9% (used 32660 bytes from 81920 bytes) 
PROGRAM: [==== ] 35.6% (used 364580 bytes from 1023984 bytes) ========================= [SUCCESS] Took 4.13 seconds ========================= 
INFO Successfully compiled program.

I don’t have your setup - but here is the documented way to convert from Tasmota to ESPHome:

You might have better luck with this process.

Is the Sonoff still on Tasmota then?
Does Tasmota use port 8266?
If my memory is correct, that is the port ESPHome uses.
If not, then I would say that is the problem… HASSIO is trying to use the port that ESPHome uses.
If tasmota uses a different port, then you are trying to update Tasmota with ESPHome’s port…

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks, I will check the guide.

Below my config (its a POW R1 hope is correct)

If you have tasmota still running, you just have to compile the ESPHome firmware and download the binary.

Then just like usual go to your tasmota firmware upgrade webpage and select your ESPHOME binary file you saved somewhere and click start upgrade.

From that point your on ESPHome, then you can use the standard OTA feature remotely.

that’s the solution, thanks

yep, thanks that worked perfectly,
