## Updating Wi-Fi and OTA Passwords in ESPHome with This Project
|
||||
|
||||
#### Overview
|
||||
When you update your Wi-Fi password in a device with firmware from our project, it's important to remember that the `wifi_password` substitution is used for both Wi-Fi and OTA updates (and a few more places that are not relevant now). Failing to update both simultaneously can lead to connection issues.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step-by-Step Guide
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Prepare Your Device for Update**
|
||||
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and is accessible via your current Wi-Fi network.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Update OTA Password First**
|
||||
- Open your panel's YAML.
|
||||
- Add the following in the customization area:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
esphome:
|
||||
on_boot:
|
||||
- priority: 600
|
||||
then:
|
||||
- lambda: |-
|
||||
id(my_ota).set_auth_password("Your new Wi-Fi password");
|
||||
ota:
|
||||
password: "Your current Wi-Fi password"
|
||||
id: my_ota
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Flash your device. It will use the current password for this flash and will inform your device to start using the new password for the next OTA.
|
||||
- When your device starts, **remove the lines above**.
|
||||
- Find the `wifi_password` key in the `substitutions` area (usually at the beginning of the file) and change it to your new Wi-Fi password.
|
||||
- Flash your device again with the updated YAML. It will use the current Wi-Fi to connect to your device and the new Wi-Fi password as the OTA password, then will inform your device to connect to the Wi-Fi with the new password.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Update Wi-Fi Password in Your Access Point**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Important Notes
|
||||
- The device will still be using the old Wi-Fi password for this update. If you've already changed your Wi-Fi network password, this step will fail.
|
||||
- **Troubleshooting: Unable to Connect via Wi-Fi**
|
||||
- If your device cannot connect to Wi-Fi due to a password change, you will need to flash the device via a serial connection.
|
||||
- Connect your device to your computer using a USB-to-Serial adapter.
|
||||
- Use the ESPHome flasher tool to upload the new configuration.
|
||||
- In this case, don't worry about the OTA password, as it's not required when flashing via serial.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Verify the Update
|
||||
- Once the new configuration is uploaded, your device should automatically connect to your Wi-Fi network with the new password.
|
||||
- Verify that OTA updates are working with the new password.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Additional Tips
|
||||
- **Backup Your Configuration:** Always keep a backup of your ESPHome configuration files.
|
||||
- **Network Accessibility:** Ensure your device remains within your Wi-Fi network's range during the update process.
|
||||
- **Serial Flashing:** Familiarize yourself with the process of flashing via serial, as it's a reliable fallback method.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Conclusion
|
||||
By carefully updating both your Wi-Fi and OTA passwords in your ESPHome configuration, you can avoid connection issues. Remember to always back up your configuration and be prepared to use a serial connection if Wi-Fi connectivity is lost.
