ESP Web Tools

Allow flashing ESPHome or other ESP-based firmwares via the browser. Will automatically detect the board type and select a supported firmware. See website for full documentation.

Example manifest:

The optional serialType field ("cdc" or "uart") lets you ship separate firmware variants for chips that support both native USB CDC (built-in USB) and external USB-to-UART bridges. The correct variant is selected automatically based on the detected connection. Builds without a serialType are used as a fallback for any connection type.
