### Upcoming Change: Switching to ESP-IDF Framework by March 2024
Exciting news for our community – in just a couple of months, by March 2024, we'll be transitioning to the **ESP-IDF** as our default framework.
This upgrade is designed to significantly increase the available memory on the ESP, making more room for new features and your customizations.
We have some important updates for our community – by March 2024, we're moving to the **ESP-IDF** as our standard framework.
This shift aims to significantly boost the memory capacity on the ESP, allowing for the addition of new features and broader customizations.
While the change is around the corner, there's no need to rush. You have time to get ready for this transition.
When it's time to switch, you’ll need to flash your device using a serial cable, similar to what you did for your first custom firmware installation.
There's ample time before this transition takes place, so no need to hurry.
When it's time to switch, flashing your device using a serial cable will be necessary, similar to the initial custom firmware setup.
If you happen to need a serial firmware installation before March, consider giving `esp-idf` a try earlier.
It’s already supported and a good step towards future-proofing your setup.
For those who might need a serial firmware installation before March,
trying out `esp-idf` earlier could be a beneficial move towards adapting to future developments.
And if you're not able to make the switch by March or can't flash via serial, don't worry.
You’ll still have the option to use the `arduino` framework and update your device wirelessly (OTA).
If you're unable to switch by March or if serial flashing isn't an option for you,
the `arduino` framework will still be available for Over-The-Air (OTA) updates.
For all the details on customizing the framework, our [customization docs](docs/customization.md#framework-esp-idf) are there to help.
We're committed to making this transition as smooth as possible, so reach out if you have any concerns or need assistance.
For detailed guidance on framework customization, check out our [customization documentation](docs/customization.md#framework-esp-idf).
We're dedicated to facilitating a smooth transition and are here to assist with any queries or concerns.
