Using ESPHome Builder to install a configuration to ESP32, the process never indicates to me when the installation is complete. I would expect a popup saying “Installation complete”, or a log entry saying “Done”, but log file just continues to run.
There is an entry that says “Boot seems successful; resetting boot loop counter”. Is that a safe place to STOP?
Thanks
When you see the uploading code and there is an animation going to 100% then that is when it’s done.
The color of text also changes to purple I believe it is and it’s outputting wifi connection and such
The purple text depends on the log level set.
Set it too low (I think just under the default) and the purple text will not occur.
Post your (formatted) ESPHome log to look see.
the stop button is confusing, it should probably be labeled as ‘close’ instead.
with the confusing label, its unclear (to me) if it will actually stop an operation, and what the repercussions are if it does stop during a critical section.
if you enable the firmware update entity on your esp device, you can actually use HA’s update process (runs in the background) instead going through esp home.
I so agree!
That button name truly sends a confusing signal.
I learned recently you can open multiple webpages and upgrade multiple device simultaneously. Not sure the limiting factors.
Thanks. That seems right to me. I will stop at :
Uploading:===========================] 100% Done…
About a minute later the log shows this:
[00:00:59.146][I][safe_mode:042]: Boot seems successful; resetting boot loop counter
If I have problems I may wait the extra minute.
Thank you.
after something is updated, the device reboots and reconnects showing the boot log.
so you may want to keep it open long enough just to monitor that it reconnects.
Only if the log level is set to the default or higher, which does not seem to be the case here.
