Meshkit-light video example explanation wanted

[jwktje]

Awesome. Will definitely go that route if I need more after testing. Thanks for the advice.

Is anyone here experienced with flashing a ESP32-MeshKit-Light with new firmware like described by me-no-dev?
I'd love to have someone give me a short description of the steps you'd go through.
Would it look something like this?

1. Compile ESP-MDF firmware
2. Put firmware on Android device
3. Open firmware file within ESP mesh app
4. Select Mesh bulb from list to flash via OTA
5. Success

Still wondering if someone has experience or an example to flash a light via OTA.

I went ahead and ordered 5 bulbs.
I will attempt to figure it out myself, but still would really like to hear from someone.

How would I go about flashing my own firmware? If it uses OTA, can I just post my compiled firmware to the bulb directly somehow without the app?

Hi jwktje,

I suggest to update the bulbs' firmware via the app. It's easy and won't need to destroy the bulbs.

You can refer to this https://github.com/espressif/esp-mdf/tr ... opment_kit chapter 6 firmware update.

Attention, we add a checkout that only the firmware compiled by MDF will be accepted by the MDF devices, to avoid user updating a wrong firmware.
